Bile duct stones, also known as choledocholithiasis, occur when gallstones migrate from the gallbladder into the common bile duct, causing obstruction and potential complications such as cholangitis or pancreatitis. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to relieve symptoms, prevent infection, and protect liver function. Dr. Kripa Shankar Tiwari provides comprehensive care for bile duct stones using advanced endoscopic and surgical techniques tailored to each patient’s needs.
Patients may present with severe upper abdominal pain, jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes), dark urine, clay‑colored stools, fever, chills, nausea, and vomiting. In some cases, mild symptoms progress rapidly to life‑threatening infection.
Primary Stones: Form within the bile ducts, often associated with infection or stasis
Secondary Stones: Migrated from the gallbladder; most common type
Multiple or Impacted Stones: Require more complex management
Dr. Kripa Shankar Tiwari begins with diagnostic imaging such as ultrasound, MRCP, or ERCP to locate and assess stones. The primary treatment is endoscopic removal via ERCP with sphincterotomy and stone extraction. For large or impacted stones, he employs laparoscopic common bile duct exploration or robotic-assisted bile duct surgery to ensure complete clearance. Antibiotics and supportive care are administered to manage or prevent cholangitis.
With specialized expertise in hepatopancreatobiliary surgery and advanced endoscopic procedures, Dr. Kripa Shankar Tiwari ensures precise removal of bile duct stones, minimal procedure‑related risks, and rapid recovery. His multidisciplinary approach and personalized care protocols deliver optimal outcomes for complex biliary disorders.
