Clinical Trial Summary

Patients with complex biliary stone disease are challenging to treat. The investigator present their experience in using urological interventions to treat challenging biliary stones.

Methods:

Fifteen patients with biliary calculi underwent 21 interventions using either extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), percutaneous transhepatic choledochoscopy, percutaneous transcystic choledochoscopy, or a combination of these.


Clinical Trial Description

The investigator conducted a retrospective review to investigate the outcomes of urological treatments for biliary calculi from January 1, 1999, to August 31, 2016, focusing on percutaneous endoscopic methods and/or ESWL. The primary outcomes of interest were symptom- and stone-free rates, length of hospital stay, and complications. Our institutional ethics review board approved the study (IRB-2018-01-119). Due to the retrospective nature of the study, the need for informed consent was waived. One endourologist evaluated all patients preoperatively.

Urological intervention techniques The three different approaches used (ESWL, PTHC, and PTCC) are described below. ;
