Symptoms to watch for
See a specialist early — the right diagnosis prevents complications.
- Jaundice — yellowing of eyes, skin and dark-coloured urine
- Severe right-upper abdominal pain, often colicky
- Pale, clay-coloured stools
- Itching all over the body
- Fever with chills — sign of cholangitis (bile duct infection, an emergency)
Treatment options offered
- 1ERCP — endoscopic stone removal through the mouth, no incisions
- 2Biliary stenting for difficult or impacted stones
- 3Single-stage laparoscopic CBD exploration + cholecystectomy
- 4Hepaticojejunostomy for strictures or complex anatomy
- 5Urgent decompression for cholangitis / sepsis
Recovery & return to routine
ERCP is a day-care procedure — most patients go home in 24 hours. After laparoscopic CBD exploration, hospital stay is 3–5 days. Jaundice clears within 1–2 weeks.
