Sixty-two patients (mean age 75 years, range 27·95 years) with retained common bile duct stones were treated with two different lithotriptors. One of the lithotriptors operated on the electrohydraulic principle (Dornier HM-3) (n = 13), the other on the electromagnetic principle (Siemens Lithostar®) (n = 49). All HM-3 patients were treated under general anaesthesia, whereas with the Lithostar one patient was treated under general anaesthesia, 43 received analgesia and sedation and five had no analgesia at all. Patients treated with the Lithostar had more sessions (mean 1·9 versus 1·3, P |
