However, large or impacted stones often necessitate choledochotomy, which is associated with increased morbidity and longer operative duration. In 2025, routine intraoperative lithotripsy was introduced in our unit to facilitate trans-cystic stone clearance. Aim To evaluate the impact of routine i…
Open article record in new tab ↗Impaction of Dormia basket while extracting common bile duct (CBD) stones during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is a well-known but relatively rare complication. Its management could be very challenging and may require percutaneous, endoscopic, or major surgical intervention. In this study, we present a case of a 65-year-old man with a history of obstructive jaundice secondary to a large CBD stone.…
Open article record in new tab ↗Apart from difficult biliary cannulation, biliary stone removal is considered one of the hurdles in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Generally, simple common bile duct (CBD) stones can be removed either with an extraction balloon or a basket. However, there are difficult stones that cannot be removed using these standard methods. The most difficult stones are large CBD stones and impacted stones in…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background In patients with large stones in the common bile duct (CBD), advanced treatment modalities are generally needed. Here, we present an interesting case of a huge CBD stone treated with electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL) by the percutaneous approach and rendezvous endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) using a nasal endoscope. Case summary A 91-year-old woman underwent ERC for a symptomatic large CBD…
