[Intraoperative, endoscopic lithotripsy of pancreatic duct calculi. A contribution to the surgical treatment of chronic calcifying pancreatitis]. 1987

F W Schildberg, and V Lange, and H Wenk, and J Schüller

The problem of chronical calcifying pancreatitis is demonstrated in two female patients. Resection of the pancreas is necessary, if prepapillar concrements cannot be extracted. By two new techniques, ultrasound-lithotripsy and laser-induced shock-wave-lithotripsy, it is possible to destroy concrements and to remove them. These new techniques are now used primarily in surgery.

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.

D010195	Pancreatitis	INFLAMMATION of the PANCREAS. Pancreatitis is classified as acute unless there are computed tomographic or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic findings of CHRONIC PANCREATITIS (International Symposium on Acute Pancreatitis, Atlanta, 1992). The two most common forms of acute pancreatitis are ALCOHOLIC PANCREATITIS and gallstone pancreatitis.

D002908	Chronic Disease	Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).
