Bile Duct Surgery in Lahore

Bile duct surgery clears stones and blockages from the tube that carries bile from the liver to the intestine. The procedure at Farooq Hospital in Lahore is often done through a few small keyhole cuts. Recovery is usually quicker than open surgery, and bile flows normally again once the duct is clear.

Bile Duct Surgery in Lahore by Dr. Shehryar Niazi

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.

Bile duct stones and blockages

When gallstones escape into the main bile duct they block bile flow, causing jaundice, pain and sometimes serious infection. Treatment often combines endoscopy with surgery. Where endoscopic clearance fails or is unavailable, laparoscopic bile duct exploration removes the stones directly, and in selected cases a drainage connection such as choledochoduodenostomy prevents the problem returning.

This is technically demanding keyhole surgery, and it sits within the advanced end of the caseload at Farooq Hospital DHA.

Jaundice is never routine

Yellow eyes with dark urine and pale stools mean blocked bile flow until proven otherwise. With fever added, it becomes an emergency called cholangitis. Either picture deserves urgent assessment rather than repeated lab tests at home. The Lahore clinic coordinates scans, endoscopy and surgery under one roof.

After bile duct clearance

Once the duct is clear, jaundice fades over days as bilirubin washes out. Drains, where used, are removed before or shortly after discharge. Liver tests are repeated at follow up to confirm the numbers keep falling, and any remaining gallbladder disease is dealt with in the same admission where possible so the patient is not operated twice.
