800 Kilobear -There are other treatments like Actigall -takes upto two years and only works half the time. They can do lithrotripsy (ultrasound breaking up the stones) -this works about 35% of the time. Now they have Gastros that will go in there during endoscopy and zap them with either laser or US.
Who knows what the complications are? I wouldn’t recommend this.
The easiest way to treat this disease is with laparoscopic surgery. I viewed quite a few and it’s a real simple procedure with a very low rate of complications.
