Pancreatoscopy in the evaluation and management of pancreatic disorders

Table 2 Comparison of electrohydraulic lithotripsy and laser lithotripsy

Feature	Electrohydraulic lithotripsy	Laser lithotripsy
Mechanism	High-pressure shock waves	Laser energy (e.g., holmium)
Efficacy	High fragmentation rate	Higher precision, better control
Tissue injury risk	Higher due to shock waves	Lower due to targeted energy
Preferred for	Hard, larger stones	Smaller, impacted stones
