“…Our complication rate was low, which is similar to results from other groups (18,19,(21)(22)(23)(24)(26)(27)(28)(29). In close temporal association with ESWL we observed mainly mild episodes of pancreatitis.…”

“…Results equivalent to or better than those discussed have been reported by others (18,19,21,22,26,27) using electrohydraulic or electromagnetic lithotripters with radiographic stone location. Three groups used ultrasonography alone (28,29) or in combination with radiography (24) for targetting pancreatic ductal concrements; freedom from stones and complete freedom from pain were achieved in up to 70% of patients.…”

“…Excretion rate and symptom disappearance rate results at our hospital were similar but recurrence rate was significantly lower at 5.6%, considered to be an effect of combined EPDBD therapy [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. However, some limitation is that the effect is not permanent; negative effects on the pancreatic duct and parenchyma is unknown; not knowing how much air pressure and time is best; and not having specialized tools available [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29].…”

“…ESWL overcomes the problem of the stone size by fragmenting the stones, thus facilitating endoscopic clearance of the duct. ESWL is required in 36−68% of patients and successful rates of stone clearance of the main pancreatic duct ranged from 37% to 100% [115,120,173,[179][180][181][182][183][184][185][186][187]. Use of ultrasound instead of x-rays to locate pancreatic stones is associated with a lower fragmentation rate [188,189].…”
