Gel immersion electrohydraulic lithotripsy for gallbladder stones through a lumen-apposing metal stent

Key Points

• Effective fragmentation of gallbladder stones occurs using electrohydraulic lithotripsy and gel immersion, enhancing treatment options.
• A notable reduction in stone size was observed using the lumen-apposing metal stent as part of the intervention.
• The study utilizes an observational approach to analyze outcomes related to this minimally invasive procedure.
• Highlights the potential of gel immersion electrohydraulic lithotripsy for improving gallbladder stone treatment pathways.
