Laparoscopic CBD Exploration in Lucknow

Dr. Devashish Sharma — General & Laparoscopic Surgeon

What is it?

Laparoscopic CBD exploration may be used to remove selected bile duct stones during gallbladder surgery or in an appropriate staged treatment plan.

When should you seek surgical consultation?

Surgery is considered after clinical assessment of symptoms, examination findings, imaging, laboratory tests and available alternatives. The decision should be individualized; not every patient with a similar diagnosis requires the same treatment.

What happens during the procedure?

The exact technique, anaesthesia, incision, instruments and recovery plan depend on your diagnosis, anatomy, medical condition and the surgical approach considered appropriate. The procedure, benefits, alternatives and important risks should be discussed individually before surgery.

What if treatment is delayed or skipped?

Bile duct stones may cause jaundice, pain, cholangitis or pancreatitis and require timely medical assessment.

After surgery or treatment

Recovery varies with the procedure and the individual. You will receive guidance about pain control, wound care, activity, diet, follow-up and warning symptoms. Contact your treating team if you develop concerning symptoms.
