Successful application of percutaneous endoscopic cholangioscopy + electrohydraulic lithotripsy for hepatolithiasis post-liver transplantation: a case report
Percutaneous cholangioscopy with intraductal lithotripsy enables accurate identification and extraction of intrahepatic stones without the need for surgical intervention. This method proves to be a valuable alternative in addressing post-transplant biliary stone. In our case, it was performed on a pediatric patient who underwent liver transplantation, which makes it interesting and relevant as there is currently insufficient literature on this approach in such cases in this population.
