Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) is a common procedure for gallstone removal.
  • Effective monitoring is crucial for successful SWL outcomes and patient safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the essential role of ultrasound in gallstone management.
  • To underscore ultrasound's utility throughout the SWL process.

Main Methods:

  • Ultrasound examinations were utilized for preliminary diagnosis.
  • Intra-procedural ultrasound monitored the shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) treatment.
  • Post-SWL ultrasound assessed therapeutic outcomes and identified complications.

Main Results:

  • Ultrasound serves as a critical 'filter function' for initial gallstone diagnosis.
  • It provides essential 'monitoring function' during SWL procedures.
  • Ultrasound facilitates reliable 'follow-up function', assessing treatment success and detecting rare complications.

Conclusions:

  • Ultrasound is indispensable for comprehensive gallstone management via SWL.
  • Its application ensures accurate diagnosis, effective treatment monitoring, and reliable follow-up.
  • Ultrasound enables prompt identification of infrequent complications, enhancing patient care.
