Role of choledochotomy after mechanical lithotripsy-related adverse event in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography

Abstract

In case of rupture of the mechanical lithotripter's traction wires during an ERCP, we suggest performing a choledochotomy to remove the stone, and remove the closed Dormia basket through the mouth.
