Extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is now used for gallstones, similar to kidney stone treatment. This review covers biliary ESWL techniques, clinical results, and patient selection for this therapy.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatology
  • Urology
  • Medical Physics

Background:

  • Extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a well-established treatment for kidney stones.
  • A similar non-invasive approach is being explored for gallstone management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the technique of biliary ESWL.
  • To examine the clinical outcomes of gallstone ESWL.
  • To provide recommendations for patient selection.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing clinical studies on biliary ESWL.
  • Analysis of treatment efficacy and safety data.
  • Synthesis of findings to guide clinical application.

Main Results:
