Abstract
Treatment of biliary stones impacted in the distal, common bile duct is a technical challenge. We report 2 consecutive patients, a woman aged 80 years and a man aged 64, in whom all operative attempts failed. In both, the stone was removed by percutaneous, choledochoscopic, electrohydraulic lithotripsy in a single session. To the best of our knowledge these are the first such cases reported in Israel.
