Overview
Electrohydraulic lithotripsy is the latest advancement in the removal of gallstones in a nonsurgical manner boasting success rates of over 90%.[1][2]
Future or Investigational Therapies
Electrohydraulic lithotripsy works on the same principle as ERCP. A digital single-operator cholangioscope known as "SpyGlass" is passed through a duodenoscope passed through the oral passage, however, unlike ERCP, no xrays are needed to visualise the stones. Once the stones are reached a powerful burst of electrical currents are released to shatter stones. The main risk with EHL is thta the common bile duct may be perforated and bleeding, as well as injury to the surrounding epithelium may occur.[3][4][5][6]
