Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video transcript, two individuals, Ali and Linda, discuss their preference for using EHL (electrohydraulic lithotripsy) over laser for stone fragmentation during medical procedures. They mention that regulations in Europe often require a dedicated room for laser use, while EHL allows for more flexibility. They also discuss the need for multiple probes with larger stones, the cost of the probes, and the relative safety and ease of use of EHL. They agree that EHL is a more accessible option for beginners and that it is not significantly more expensive than laser. Additionally, they touch on the topic of when to choose cholangioscopy and the importance of planning procedures based on MRI results. No credits were mentioned.
