Core Tip

Core tip: This retrospective cohort study describes the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of inserting a biliary spontaneous dislodgement spiral stent (BSDSS) for patients who underwent mechanical lithotripsy for large stone removal. All BSDSSs were inserted successfully and evacuated spontaneously after a median duration of 3 d without additional injuries to the digestive tract. Comparable results of post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography adverse events, drainage time, and length of postoperative stay were observed in the BSDSS group (n = 21) and the nasobiliary tube group (n = 28).
