Abstract:Objective?To study the indication, efficacy, safety, anesthesia method, and complication of extracorpereal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) in combination with endoscopic retrograde eholangiopanereatography (ERCP) for pancreatic duct stones.?Methods?From November 2011 to February 2016, we observed the success rate and safety of ESWL in combination with ERCP in treatment of 33 patients with chronic pancreatitis and large pancreatic duct stones and evaluate the efficacy in 6 month and 4 years follow-up.?Results?All the 33 patients underwent 52 ESWL, the successful fragmentation rate was 100.00%; complete clearance was achieved in 27 patients (81.82%) under the treatment of ESWL in combination with ERCP. Their pain and steatorrhea relieved, the weight increased.?Conclusions?ESWL combined with ERCP is effective, safe for chronic pancreatitis with pancreatic duct stones.
