• Cholangiolithotripsy: This procedure involves the destruction of stones in the bile ducts (choledochus) using an endoscopic instrument inserted through the mouth or nose to reach the bile ducts. The stones are broken down using lasers, ultrasound, or mechanical tools, and can then be removed or dissolved with special medications.
• Choledocholithotomy: If a stone is stuck in the common bile duct (choledochus), a surgical procedure called choledocholithotomy may be required.
During this operation, the stone is removed directly from the bile duct.
• Percutaneous Transhepatic Choledochoscopy: This is a minimally invasive procedure
in which a surgeon inserts a thin flexible tube (endoscope) through a skin incision in the liver and further into the common bile duct for visualization and removal of stones from the bile duct.
• Lithotripsy using an intravesical choledochoscope: In this procedure, the surgeon inserts a flexible tube (choledochoscope) through the gallbladder and into the bile duct to remove stones or their fragments using instruments or lasers.
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL): This is a procedure in which high-intensity sound waves are directed at the stones to break them into smaller fragments. The broken stones can then dissolve naturally or be removed from the body.
The specific treatment method will be chosen depending on the particular situation, type of stones, and individual characteristics of the patient.
It is important to consult a qualified doctor
to receive detailed advice and recommendations
based on your case.
