Initial Experience With Percutaneous Laser Lithotripsy Using a Novel Short‐Type Digital 11‐Fr Cholangioscope in a Patient With Retained Bile Duct Stones and Surgically Altered Anatomy
Key Points
To assess the feasibility and effectiveness of using a novel short-type digital cholangioscope for percutaneous laser lithotripsy in patients with complex biliary anatomy.
Utilized a novel short-type digital 11-Fr cholangioscope for percutaneous laser lithotripsy.
Targeted patients with retained bile duct stones and surgically altered anatomy.
Analyzed outcomes related to stone removal success.
Successfully demonstrated the effectiveness of the novel cholangioscope for lithotripsy in affected patients.
Improved outcomes in stone removal observed, though specific metrics are not detailed.
