Biliary Stricture

Understanding

What It Means?

Biliary stricture refers to the narrowing of the bile ducts, which can obstruct the flow of bile from the liver to the small intestine. This condition can result from various causes, including injury, inflammation, or tumours, and can lead to serious health complications if not treated. Dr. Jenit Gandhi, the best biliary surgeon in Ahmedabad, specializes in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of biliary strictures, offering advanced techniques to restore normal bile flow and improve patient outcomes. Consulting a biliary surgery doctor in Ahmedabad ensures that patients receive top-notch care and effective treatment.

About

Symptoms & Indications

Are You a Candidate for Surgery?

Bile ducts are responsible for transporting bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver, to the small intestine. When these ducts become narrowed or blocked, it can lead to bile buildup in the liver, causing jaundice, infections, and liver damage. Biliary stricture treatment is essential to avoid further complications. Common causes of biliary strictures include previous surgery, chronic inflammation, pancreatitis, and certain cancers. Biliary stricture surgery is often the most effective approach for resolving these issues.

  • Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
  • Abdominal pain, particularly in the upper right quadrant
  • Fever and chills, indicating potential infection
  • Itching (pruritus) due to bile salt accumulation in the skin
  • Dark urine and pale stools

Your Surgery: What to Expect

The Surgical Procedure

The treatment for biliary strictures depends on the underlying cause and severity of the condition. Biliary stricture treatment is often achieved through various surgical options:

  • Endoscopic Stent Placement: A minimally invasive procedure where a stent is placed inside the bile duct to keep it open and allow bile to flow freely.
  • Balloon Dilatation: This procedure involves inflating a balloon inside the narrowed bile duct to widen the stricture.
  • Surgical Bypass: In cases where the stricture cannot be treated endoscopically, biliary stricture surgery may be performed to reroute the bile flow around the blockage.
  • Resection of Stricture: For strictures caused by tumours or scar tissue, surgical removal of the affected portion of the bile duct may be necessary.

Insights from the Best Surgical Gastroenterologist in Gujarat

Biliary strictures can be caused by various factors such as scarring, tumors, inflammation, or injury to the bile ducts, which can lead to a blockage and affect bile flow.

Diagnosis typically involves ultrasound, MRCP (Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography), ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography), and liver function tests to assess the extent of the condition.

Treatment may include endoscopic stent placement, balloon dilatation, surgical bypass, or resection of the affected bile duct, depending on the severity and cause of the stricture.
