Pancreatic and biliary calculi: percutaneous treatment with tunable dye laser lithotripsy
Radiology.
1990 Mar.
Abstract
Percutaneous tunable dye laser lithotripsy was used in two patients to successfully fragment a 2-cm left hepatic duct calculus and a 5-mm main pancreatic duct calculus. Tunable dye laser lithotripsy may prove to be a more effective alternative to mechanical lithotripsy.
