What is Non-Operative Cholesterol Management about?

This document discusses the non-operative management of gallstones and bile duct stones. For gallstones, oral dissolution therapy using ursodeoxycholic acid or extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy are described. Complete dissolution is achieved in 20-70% of patients on oral therapy. Recurrence rates are high. For bile duct stones, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is the primary approach, while percutaneous techniques help facilitate endoscopic management but are not definitive alone.
