Removal of mechanical lithotripsy device with laparoscopic bile duct exploration
This video shows a complication from an endoscopic procedure leading to a mechanical lithotripsy device being stuck within the bile duct.
Dr Thng tackled this problem by exploring the bile duct laparoscopically. The stone was dislodged from the device allowing the basket device to be removed trans-orally. This was followed by a completion cholecystectomy and repair of the bile duct.
