- Abstract:
- A consecutive series of 10 patients with pancreatic stones due to chronic pancreatitis was treated by extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy during an investigation period of 2 years. The first step of the therapeutic regime included an endoscopic sphincterotomy prior to shockwave treatment. The targeting procedure was performed strictly under sonographic control. All patients were treated with a second-generation electrohydraulic lithotriptor, fragmentation could be achieved in all 10 cases. In 7 patients stonefreeness could be reached by endoscopic stone extraction, all these patients were symptom-free over a follow-up period of 12 months. In 3 patients complete duct clearance could not be achieved, these patients presented with minor symptoms over the follow-up period.
