title: Extracorporeal shock wave lithrotripsy of intrahepatic stones. Case presentation and review of the literature.
abstract: Primary hepatolithiasis, although rare, is a difficult condition requiring the combined management of radiology and surgery. Use of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and percutaneous stone extraction, along with improved biliary drainage by choledochojejunostomy, should provide a safe effective approach to this unusual problem.
