Initial Experience With Endoscopic Ultrasound‐Guided Gallbladder Drainage Using Lumen‐apposing Metal Stents in Extremely Elderly and Frail Patients

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Objectives Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided gallbladder drainage (EUS‐GBD) using lumen‐apposing metal stents (LAMS) is a treatment option for acute cholecystitis in high‐risk surgical patients. However, data on extremely elderly and frail patients are limited. We report our initial experience with EUS‐GBD using electrocautery‐enhanced LAMS in this

Endoscopic Management of Difficult Bile Duct Stones

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1992
More than 90% of all common bile duct concrements can be removed via the endoscopic retrograde route via endoscopic sphincterotomy, stone extraction by baskets and balloon catheters, or mechanical lithotripsy.

Pneumatic Lithotripsy Versus Laser Lithotripsy for Ureteral Stones

Journal of Lasers in Medical Sciences, 2018
Introduction: Several different modalities are available for ureteral stone fragmentation. From them pneumatic and holmium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho: YAG) lithotripsy have supportive outcomes. In this study we studied 250 subjects who had ureteroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy (PL) or laser lithotripsy (LL).

Clinical Utility and Safety of a Novel Ultraslim Catheter‐Type Peroral Cholangioscope/Pancreatoscope: A Single‐Center Case Series

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Peroral cholangioscopy (POCS) and peroral pancreatoscopy (POPS) enable direct intraductal visualization for pancreatobiliary disease diagnosis and management. Nonetheless, conventional devices have relatively large diameters, limiting their use in narrow ducts.

Comparison of lithotripsy methods during mini-PNL: is there a role for ballistic lithotripsy in the era of high-power lasers

BMC Urology
Background For renal stones > 20 mm, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) offers the best stone clearance rates with acceptable complication rates. This study aimed to compare the efficiency of high-power holmium YAG laser and ballistic lithotripsy during ...
