    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Hepatobiliary Surgery

    Background:

    • Endoscopic sphincterotomy is a common procedure for bile duct stone removal.
    • Large or multiple bile duct stones can be challenging to retrieve using standard endoscopic techniques.
    • Mechanical lithotripsy for large stones carries risks such as impaction.
