Stone delivery during pregnancy: when no photos allowed

摘要

We congratulate Drs Han and Shah on their report of stone extractions using a SpyGlass retrieval basket (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, Mass, USA). 1 They were able to successfully remove difficult-to-approach and/or impacted bile and pancreatic duct stones in 5 patients. We would like to suggest another potential scenario where cholangioscopy/mini-basket technology can be helpful.
