Clinical Trial: Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of Holmium Laser Lithotripsy Versus Electrohydraulic Lithotripsy for the Treatment of Difficult Choledocholithiasis and Pancreatic Duct Stones

U.S., Feb. 19 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07418112) titled 'Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of Holmium Laser Lithotripsy Versus Electrohydraulic Lithotripsy for the Treatment of Difficult Choledocholithiasis and Pancreatic Duct Stones' on Feb. 02.

Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a low-power holmium laser works to treat large and/or difficult bile duct or pancreatic duct stones in adults. It will also learn about the safety of the low-wattage holmium laser. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Is the low-power holmium laser effective at treating large and/or difficult bile duct or pancreatic duct stones? Is the low-power holmium laser effective safe to us...
