TREATMENT

Advanced Bile Duct Stones Treatment in Hyderabad

Dr. Prashanth Koyyoda provides personalized Bile Duct Stones treatment in Hyderabad based on the size, number, and location of the stones, along with the patient’s overall health. The primary goal is to remove the stones, restore normal bile flow, relieve symptoms, and prevent complications such as infection or pancreatitis.

Medical Management

Patients with pain, infection, or inflammation may initially receive medications, intravenous fluids, and antibiotics to stabilize their condition before definitive treatment.

ERCP Stone Removal

ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) is the most commonly performed procedure for removing bile duct stones. Using a flexible endoscope, the stones are safely removed without the need for major surgery, restoring normal bile drainage.

Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery

If gallstones are present in the gallbladder, Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is usually recommended after ERCP to prevent future stone formation and recurrent bile duct obstruction.

Advanced Surgical Management

In complex cases where endoscopic treatment is unsuccessful or not feasible, minimally invasive or open bile duct surgery may be required to remove stones and restore normal bile flow.

Long-Term Follow-Up

Regular follow-up appointments, liver function monitoring, dietary guidance, and lifestyle modifications help prevent recurrence and maintain long-term digestive health.
