Thirty-three patients with common bile duct stones which could not be extracted by routine endoscopic measures were treated with extracorporeal lithotripsy. Two electrohydraulic lithotripters were used: Dornier HM3 and Technomed Sonolith 3000 using fluoroscopy and ultrasonography, respectively, for stone localisation. Twenty-nine patients were treated with only one session and four patients in two sessions. Fragmentation of stones was obtained in 29 patients (88 p. 100) and complete bile duct clearence in 26 patients (79 p. 100). The fragments passes spontaneously through the papilla in 7 cases; in 19 cases complete removal of fragments was achieved with a Dormia basket (16 cases) or after mechanical lithotripsy (3 cases). There were no significant differences in successful fragmentation rates between the two lithotriters. No serious adverse effects or mortality were observed within the 30 days following treatment. In conclusion, extracorporeal lithotripsy is an effective and safe method for the treatment of bile duct stones when, after sphincterotomy, routine endoscopic measures have failed.
