Bile Duct Surgery in Bhakkar

Bile duct surgery covers the operations that treat stones, blockages, injuries, and narrowing in the ducts that carry bile from the liver and gallbladder. Dr. Shehryar Niazi handles these cases laparoscopically where possible at his Lahore and Bhakkar clinics.

Managing bile duct disease in the district

A patient with jaundice in Bhakkar has often already been through multiple labs and ultrasounds before anyone names the problem. At Brigadier Shafiq Trust Hospital the assessment brings those threads together: whether stones are blocking the duct, whether infection is brewing, and which route, endoscopic or surgical, will clear it.

Where operative clearance or a drainage procedure is needed, it can be performed locally by a surgeon whose bile duct caseload spans both clinics. Urgent cases with fever and jaundice should call +92 318 7801855 the same day.

Symptoms that point to the bile duct

Pain under the right ribs with dark urine, pale stools or itching suggests bile is not flowing. Diabetic and elderly patients can brew serious duct infection with surprisingly little pain, so weakness and fever alone deserve blood tests. An ultrasound at assessment usually shows whether the duct is widened, and the plan follows from there.

Recovering from duct surgery

Appetite and energy return as the jaundice clears, often within the first weeks. Repeat liver tests at the Bhakkar clinic confirm the numbers are falling, and stitches or drains are dealt with at the same visits. Yellowing that returns at any point later in life should always prompt a review, and patients leave knowing that.
