Abstract:
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and its derivative technologies have become the first-line treatment methods for bile duct stones. Most stones can be removed by conventional endoscopic techniques, while the treatment of large common bile duct stones requires a combination with endoscopic lithotripsy. This article summarizes the current research advances in endoscopic mechanical lithotripsy, electrohydraulic lithotripsy/laser lithotripsy, extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy for bile duct stones in the treatment of large common bile duct stones, so as to provide recommendations and bases for the clinical treatment of large common bile duct stones.
