Abstract
We report the case of a 44-year-old woman underwent cholecystectomy with two common bile duct stones (2.6 x 1,9 cm and 1.6 X 1.0 cm) which failed to be captured by endoscopic mechanical lithotriptor. However, those were successfully dia-integrated with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), permitting subsequent endosaopic extraction using the Dormia basket of the fragments without complication; In our experience, ESWL is considered to be a new and safe method to treat patients with common bile duct stone which cannot be removed by endoscopic mechanical lithotripsy.
