Table 7 Consensus statement 5
In difficult pancreatic ductal stones, POPS-guided lithotripsy may be useful in fragmentation and extraction of stones |
Recommendation Grade C |
Quality of evidence: 2+ |
POPS-guided EHL or laser lithotripsy: EHL was reported for 17 cases, with stone clearance reported in 71% (12/17). Laser lithotripsy was reported for 9 cases, with stone clearance reported in 100% (9/9). Stone clearance was reported in 70% (32/46) with EHL or laser lithotripsy in 39 of those cases |
POPS-guided EHL vs ESWL: POPS-guided EHL compared to ESWL for treatment of pancreatic duct stones is reported as difficult and as being only rarely indicated |
