Treatment of difficult bile duct stones using mechanical, electrohydraulic and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 34-month period (1989-1991), 791 patients were diagnosed at endoscopic retrograde cholangiography to have bile duct stones and all patients underwent sphincterotomy and attempted extraction by Dormia basket.

Electrohydraulic lithotripsy in 111 patients: a safe and effective therapy for difficult bile duct stones.

TL;DR: A retrospective review of consecutive patients who underwent peroral endoscopic fragmentation of bile duct stones with EHL under direct cholangioscopic control using a “mother-baby” endoscopic system has shown a stone fragmentation rate of 96% (89 of 93 patients), and a final stone clearance rate of 90% (85 of 94 patients).

Randomized study of intracorporeal laser lithotripsy versus extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy for difficult bile duct stones

TL;DR: ILL is more effective in the treatment of difficult bile duct stones than ESWL in terms of stone clearance rate and treatment duration, and there was no 30-day mortality in each group.
