Our Laparoscopic CBD Stone Removal procedure offers an effective, safe, and patient-friendly approach to treating this potentially serious condition, ensuring rapid recovery and improved quality of life.

Understanding CBD Stones

CBD stones are stones that either form in or migrate to the common bile duct. They often originate in the gallbladder and can obstruct the bile flow, leading to severe complications if untreated, such as:

• Jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes).
• Cholangitis (infection of the bile duct).
• Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas).

Symptoms of CBD Stones

Patients with CBD stones may experience:

• Abdominal pain, often severe and localized in the upper right or middle abdomen.
• Nausea and vomiting.
• Fever and chills (signs of infection).
• Jaundice.
• Dark urine and pale stools.

Diagnosis of CBD Stones

Diagnosing CBD stones involves advanced imaging techniques, such as:

• Ultrasound: A quick and non-invasive way to detect stones in the bile duct or gallbladder.
• MRCP (Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography): Provides a detailed view of the bile ducts.
• ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography): Both diagnostic and therapeutic, it can confirm the presence of stones and facilitate their removal.

What is Laparoscopic CBD Stone Removal?

Laparoscopic CBD Stone Removal is a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses small incisions and a laparoscope (a thin, camera-equipped instrument) to locate and remove stones from the bile duct.

Advantages of Laparoscopic CBD Stone Removal

1. Minimally Invasive Procedure
   • Smaller incisions mean less pain, reduced scarring, and faster recovery.
2. High Precision and Safety
   • The laparoscope allows surgeons to operate with exceptional accuracy, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
3. Reduced Risk of Complications
   • Compared to open surgery, this approach lowers the risk of infections and postoperative complications.
4. Faster Recovery Time
   • Most patients can return to their daily activities within a few days.
5. Shorter Hospital Stay
   • Many procedures are completed as day care surgeries or with minimal hospitalization.

The Laparoscopic CBD Stone Removal Process

1. Preoperative Preparation
   • A thorough evaluation and necessary imaging tests are performed to confirm the presence and size of stones.
2. The Procedure
   • Under general anesthesia, small incisions are made in the abdomen.
   • A laparoscope and specialized instruments are used to access the common bile duct and safely remove the stones.
3. Postoperative Care
   • Patients are monitored post-surgery and given instructions for at-home recovery, including dietary changes and follow-up visits.
