Abstract

An elderly woman with a solitary right kidney and unrecognized cholelithiasis underwent extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for renal calculi. Postoperatively, biliary obstruction developed that required emergency surgery. Pathological evaluation of the biliary calculi revealed superficial fragmentation. It is suggested that extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy was responsible for the gallstone fragmentation and resultant bile duct obstruction.
