Abstract

We performed an endoscopic lithotomy for the bile duct stones after endoscopic sphincterotomy. When the size of stone is over 10 mm. we usually performed an endoscopic mechanical litotomy (EML). When EML is failed, we usually performed an extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy ((ESWL) and/or electronic hydraulic lithotripsy (EHL). After endoscopic procedures, we usually performed endoscopic billiary stenting because of preventions for the postoperative cholangitis. Endoscopic lothotomy is safe and useful technique for the bile duct stones.
