title: [Clinical use of the mechanical lithotriptor for crushing calculi in the common bile duct].
abstract: After endoscopic papillotomy a frequent problem is removal of large concrements from the common bile duct. The following techniques are used for this purpose: ultrasound or electrohydraulic lithotripsy, pharmacological dissolution of concrements and their destruction with laser radiation. Mechanical lithotripsy is one of more often used methods. The authors describe their clinical experiences with the use of mechanical lithotripsy in 12 patients with large concrements in the common bile duct.
