Video Summary
In this video, two medical professionals discuss the use of laser or electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL) for stone fragmentation during procedures. They mention that in Europe, regulations require a dedicated room for laser use, whereas EHL is more flexible and easier to transport. They also discuss the need for multiple probes and the cost implications. The consensus is that EHL is safer, easier to learn, and cost-effective, with no significant differences in efficacy compared to laser. They also briefly mention the criteria they consider when deciding whether to perform sphincter plasty or move directly to cholangioscopy. No specific credits are mentioned in the video.
