    Summary

    Gallbladder stones were successfully removed endoscopically in three patients with combined choledochocystolithiasis. This novel technique involved endoscopic papillotomy and mechanical lithotripsy, with no complications reported post-procedure.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Endoscopic Surgery

    Background:

    • Combined choledochocystolithiasis presents a complex clinical challenge.
    • Gallbladder stones in the common bile duct require effective treatment strategies.

    Observation:

    • A novel endoscopic approach was utilized for gallbladder stone extraction in three patients.
    • The procedure involved endoscopic papillotomy (EPT) and mechanical lithotripsy for large bile duct stones.

    Findings:

    • Gallbladder stones were successfully extracted via the cystic duct using a Dormia basket.
    • The technique was performed for the first time in patients with combined choledochocystolithiasis.

    Implications:

    • This endoscopic method offers a potential minimally invasive solution for combined choledochocystolithiasis.
    • Successful extraction suggests a new therapeutic avenue for managing complex gallstone disease.
