Lithotrity is aimed at breaking up the calculi in the main bile duct in order to facilitate their extraction, especially after endoscopic sphincterotomy (5% of cases). Extracorporeal lithotrity is effective in 90% of cases, but it requires repeated sessions. Intracorporeal lithotrity is advantageous in that it can be performed immediately after endoscopic sphincterotomy, but the material used may cause injuries to the wall of the biliary tract and requires a sophisticated biliary endoscopic system for visual control. Intrahepatic calculi also represent an excellent application of intracorporeal lithotrity, either during surgery or during transhepatic percutaneous drainage.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008096	Lithotripsy	The destruction of a calculus of the kidney, ureter, bladder, or gallbladder by physical forces, including crushing with a lithotriptor through a catheter. Focused percutaneous ultrasound and focused hydraulic shock waves may be used without surgery. Lithotripsy does not include the dissolving of stones by acids or litholysis. Lithotripsy by laser is LITHOTRIPSY, LASER.

D010535	Laparoscopy	A procedure in which a laparoscope (LAPAROSCOPES) is inserted through a small incision near the navel to examine the abdominal and pelvic organs in the PERITONEAL CAVITY.

D042882	Gallstones	Solid crystalline precipitates in the BILIARY TRACT, usually formed in the GALLBLADDER, resulting in the condition of CHOLELITHIASIS. Gallstones, derived from the BILE, consist mainly of calcium, cholesterol, or bilirubin.
