Inkarzeration eines Pankreassteinfragmentes im distalen Pankreasgang nach Therapie durch extrakorporale Stoßwellenlithotripsie (ESWL)

2001

A partial or total absence of stones in pancreaticolithiasis therapy can be reached by using ESWL. We report on a patient who happened to get an incarceration of a fragment in the distal pancreatic duct after having been treated by ESWL without a previous sphincterotomy to the ductus Wirsungianus. This emphasizes the recommendation to carry out a papillotomy of the pancreatic main duct before applying ESWL to pancreatic stones.
