Gallstone ileus is caused by a gallstone impacted in the intestinal lumen. Usually the gallstone enters the bowel through a cholecystoduodenal fistula and travels a varying length aborally before stopping. This situation often requires an emergency laparotomy. A case is presented where the gallstone

The extraction of large gallstones in laparoscopic cholecystectomy either requires the enlargement of one of the incisions or intraoperative lithotripsy. Preoperative extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) might theoretically solve the problem and facilitate the extraction of the gallbladder.
The present study deals with blood cell behaviour and related hematochemical changes occurring in man after exposure to extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). The following parameters have been investigated, before and after treatment, in a longitudinal study carried out on 58 patients of our
The aim of this study was to determine whether extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) affected the viability of the infecting bacteria within a simulated struvite stone matrix. A strain, Proteus mirabilis 28cii, was prepared in three forms: (1) suspended in saline and urine, (2) artificially e
