Abstract

Background and Aims: Common bile duct stones were successfully extract- ed in 85-90% of cases using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatogra- phy procedures with balloons and basket catheters. However, endoscopic stone removal becomes challenging and sometimes impossible in the pres- ence of a large, angled or multiple stones. The mechanical lithotripsy method is a procedure used to crush difficult to treat common bile duct stones. We retrospectively analyzed efficacy and safety of mechanical lithotripsy at our single center. Materials and Methods: Between August 2011 and August 2014, mechanical lithotripsy procedures were performed in 18 cases in the Sisli Etfal Education and Training Hospital Gastroenterology Department. Demographic features, laboratory tests, clinical course, procedure type and complications were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Mechanical lithotrip- sy was performed in 18 patients (Age: 22-68; 11 females, 7 males). In 16 patients, an endoscopic sphincterotomy was performed and the common bile duct was swept with a balloon catheter. While stone fragmentation was being performed with a basket catheter, the entrapped stone was impacted within the mid- common bile duct. A mechanical lithotripteur was used to crush the stone. In two patients with large stones, mechanical lithotripteur was performed after sphincterotomy. Mechanical lithotripsy was successful in 15 (83%) patients; however, in two patients the wire of the mechanical lithotriptor snapped. Unfortunately, an esophageal perforation occurred in one patient. A metallic esophageal stent was placed and the patient recovered in one month. There were no mortalities in our mechanical lithotripsy cases. Conclusion: Mechanical lithotripsy is useful to crush difficult common bile duct stones in routine endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography ex- ams and also as a rescue procedure. It is a difficult procedure that requires considerable technical expertise. The success rate was 70-80% for cases per- formed by those with experience; it is widely available in many parts of the world. The success rate was 81% in our series, despite some complications

Özet

Giriş ve Amaç: Endoskopik sfinkterotomi, balon ve basket kateterler yar- dımıyla koledok taşlarının %85-90'ı temizlenebilmektedir. Büyük taşlarda, impakte taşlarda, çok sayıda taşı olan hastalarda standart tedavi ile başa- rı güçtür. Zor taşlar için kullanılan metodlardan biri de mekanik litotripsi yöntemidir. Biz de kliniğimizde mekanik litotripsi yönteminin etkinliği ve güvenilirliğini retrospektif olarak incelemeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya Ağustos 2011 ile Ağustos 2014 arasında Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Eği- tim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Gastroenteroloji Endoskopi ünitesinde mekanik litotripsi yapılmış olan 18 hasta alındı. Hastaların demografik özellikleri, laboratuvar değerleri, hastalara yapılan işlemler, işlem sonrası klinik seyir ve işlem komplikasyonları retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Me- kanik litoripsi işlemi 22-68 yaş arası 18 hastaya (11'i kadın) uygulanmıştır. Hastaların 16'sında endoskopik sfinkterotomi yapılmış, balonla koledok temizlenmiş, basket kateterle taş parçalanmaya çalışılırken basket kateter koledokta sıkışmış ve mekanik litotripsi işlemine geçilmiştir. 2 hastada ise köşeli ve büyük taşlar bilindiğinden direkt olarak through the scope meka- nik litotriptör ile taşlar kırılmıştır. Skop dışından mekanik litotripsi yapılan hastaların 15'ünde (%83) litotripsi işlemi başarıyla gerçekleştirilirken, 2 has- tada baskette kırılma meydana gelmiştir. Bir hastada ise mekanik litotripsiyi takiben özofagus alt uçta perforasyon saptanmıştır. Endoskopik retrograd kolanjiopankreatikografi işlemi, mekanik litotripsi ve anesteziye bağlı mor- talite görülmemiştir. Sonuç: Mekanik litotripsi, papilladan çıkmayacak ka- dar büyük taşların kırılarak küçültülmesi amacıyla planlı veya basketle ko- ledok taşlarının temizlenmesi esnasında, basketin koledok içinde sıkışması nedeniyle plansız ve zorunlu olarak taşı kırmak maksadıyla kullanılır. Zor, deneyim gerektiren, literatürde başarı oranı %70-80 olarak bildirilen bir iş- lemdir. Bizim olgularımızda da %83 tedavi başarısı etkin bir metod olduğu- nu göstermekte ancak riskleri de beraberinde getirmektedir
