Abstract
Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of choledochofiberscopy and shockwave lithotripsy in the treatment of residual biliary stones after biliary surgery. Method 119 patients with postoperative residual bile duct stones who were treated with choledochofiberscopy and shockwave lithotripsy were retrospectively analyzed. Results In all these patients, residual stones were cleared by using choledochofiberscopy and shockwave lithotripsy. Conclusions It is difficult for choledochofiberscopy to remove large or incarcerated residual bile duct stones. In these cases, using choledochofiberscopy and shockwave lithotripsy is a safe and efficacious way. Key words: Shockwave lithotripsy; Choledochofiberscope; Biliary residual stones
