Successful Treatment of Mirizzi’s Syndrome Using SpyGlass Guided Laser Lithotripsy
The majority of common bile duct stones can be effectively treated by endoscopic sphincterotomy and stone extraction using basket or balloon extractor. Stones more than 2 cm in diameter on the other hand require mechanical, electrohyraulic lithotripsy and sphincterotomy and balloon dilation. Mechanical lithotripsy may not be successful because of the size, consistency and site of the stones. In...
متن کاملEndoscopic management of chronic pancreatitis with a fully covered self-expanding metal stent and laser lithotripsy.
The patient was a 58-year-old man with a long-standing history of alcohol abuse and chronic pancreatitis leading to multiple hospitalizations. He continued to have pain despite conservative management, pain control, and alcohol cessation. His chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic duct (PD) stones resulted in a tight PD stricture at the head of the pancreas. Multiple prior attempts at conventional...
متن کاملPercutaneous Endoscopic Holmium Laser Lithotripsy for Management of Complicated Biliary Calculi
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Advances in endoscopic techniques have transformed the management of urolithiasis. We sought to evaluate the role of such urological interventions for the treatment of complex biliary calculi. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of all patients (n=9) undergoing percutaneous holmium laser lithotripsy for complicated biliary calculi over a 4-year period (12/200...
متن کاملThulium fiber laser lithotripsy using tapered fibers.
INTRODUCTION The Thulium fiber laser has recently been tested as a potential alternative to the Holmium:YAG laser for lithotripsy. This study explores use of a short taper for expanding the Thulium fiber laser beam at the distal tip of a small-core fiber. METHODS Thulium fiber laser radiation with a wavelength of 1,908 nm, 10 Hz pulse rate, 70 mJ pulse energy, and 1-millisecond pulse duration...
متن کاملSuccessful extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy in chronic calcified pancreatitis management.
A 33-year-old woman with a 3-year history of idiopathic CCP and recurrent attacks of acute pancreatitis was referred to our institution for PD stones management. Prior attempts of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) approach had failed. Plain abdominal X ray showed calcified stones in the pancreatic area (Fig. 1A). Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) demonstrate...
