An elderly woman with a solitary right kidney and unrecognized cholelithiasis underwent extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for renal calculi. Postoperatively, biliary obstruction developed that required emergency surgery. Pathological evaluation of the biliary calculi revealed superficial fragmentation. It is suggested that extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy was responsible for the gallstone fragmentation and resultant bile duct obstruction.

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.
