Computed tomography (CT) was performed on 88 patients before and after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) of gallstones to find the effects of ESWL on the gallbladder and surrounding liver tissue. Post-ESWL scans demonstrated a thickening of the gallbladder wall in 25 (28.4%) cases. In one patient an intrahepatic bilioma beside the gallbladder was seen 3 days after ESWL treatment. Hematoma of the gallbladder wall or the adjacent liver tissue was not seen, and neither a hydrops nor biliary-induced pancreatitis was observed. The authors conclude that while some patients undergoing ESWL will show some posttreatment abnormality on CT scans, the procedure is associated with a low frequency of serious gallbladder and liver trauma.
