Dear Mr Asif In your case of stone in main pancreatic duct extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy can be tried. ESWL to treat a pancreatic duct calculus is a good option but it may not be successful then surgery is recommended. Progressive narrowing of the internal diameter due to inflammation of the main pancreatic duct is dangerous and it should be treated soon. With regards Sadhana |

Dear madam, which place I can go to eswl. You can get ESWL done at World Laparoscopy Hospital. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) uses sound waves (also called shock waves) to break a kidney stone into small pieces that can more easily travel through urinary track. With regard Sadhana |
