Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

639
Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

4.2K
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopic Procedures
  • Interventional Endoscopy

Background:

  • Biliary extraction basket impaction during ERCP is a rare but serious adverse event.
  • Failed mechanical lithotripsy can lead to basket entrapment.
  • Management of impacted baskets poses a significant clinical challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel endoscopic rescue technique for managing an impacted biliary extraction basket.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of cholangioscopy-guided lithotripsy and an improvised pulley system.

Main Methods:

  • A case of impacted biliary extraction basket following ERCP and mechanical lithotripsy is presented.
  • Cholangioscopy-directed electrohydraulic lithotripsy was used to fracture the entrapped stone.
  • An improvised pulley mechanism with grasping forceps was employed for basket extraction.

Main Results:

  • The novel technique successfully fractured the entrapped stone and enabled extraction of the impacted basket.
  • The patient recovered quickly and was discharged within 48 hours.
  • No surgical intervention was required.

Conclusions:

  • Cholangioscopy-guided lithotripsy is an effective method for releasing impacted biliary baskets.
  • An improvised pulley technique offers a safe and minimally invasive solution for basket extraction.
  • This approach provides a valuable alternative to surgery for impacted biliary baskets.
