Laparoscopic bile duct surgery (CBD exploration, choledochoduodenostomy) in Lahore

What it is

Bile duct surgery treats stones and blockages inside the common bile duct, the tube that carries bile from the liver to the intestine. CBD exploration opens the duct to clear the stones, while choledochoduodenostomy joins the duct to the duodenum so bile drains freely.

How the procedure works

The surgeon makes a few small cuts in the abdomen and uses a camera and fine instruments to reach the bile duct. Stones are removed, and when needed the surgeon creates a new opening between the duct and the intestine so bile can drain freely.

Benefits

Small cuts instead of a large open wound
Less pain and a quicker recovery
Clears stones and restores normal bile flow

Who it is for

This surgery suits people with common bile duct stones or repeated stone episodes that simpler treatments have not cleared. Dr. Shehryar Niazi reviews scans and blood tests before advising whether keyhole surgery is right for you.

Recovery

Most patients stay in hospital for a short time and return to light activity within a week or two. Follow-up checks confirm the bile duct is clear and healing well.

Frequently asked questions

What is the surgery for common bile duct stones?

The main surgery is CBD exploration, where the surgeon opens the common bile duct and removes the stones. When stones return often or the duct is wide, the surgeon may add a choledochoduodenostomy to join the duct to the intestine for steady drainage.

How long does bile duct stone surgery take?

Most laparoscopic bile duct operations take a few hours, though the exact time depends on the number of stones and any scarring around the duct. Adding a choledochoduodenostomy for drainage can make the operation a little longer.

Is bile duct surgery serious?

Bile duct surgery is a major operation because the duct sits close to the liver, pancreas, and major blood vessels, so it needs an experienced surgical team. The laparoscopic approach lowers pain and speeds recovery, and Dr. Shehryar Niazi and his team perform it with careful preoperative planning.
