Effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy on intrahepatic biliary calculi developing after choledochal cyst surgery: A case report

Özet

The development of intra- and extrahepatic bile duct stones has been reported as one of the most serious compli- cations after choledochal cyst excision with biliary-enteric reconstruction through Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy (HJ). Here, we report our experience with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in a case of giant intrahe- patic stones developing after choledochal cyst surgery. ESWL is an excellent therapeutic modality for large intra- hepatic biliary calculi, and after dilating the HJ anastomosis percutaneously, it can be offered as first-line therapy to these patients.
