Bile duct injury is a serious complication that may occur during gallbladder surgery or due to abdominal trauma. Damage to the bile duct can disrupt normal bile flow, leading to pain, jaundice, infection, and long-term liver problems if not managed properly and in time.
At SurgicalSol, under the expertise of Dr. Asif Iqbal, we provide specialized and comprehensive management for bile duct injuries. As an experienced Gastrointestinal and Laparoscopic Surgeon, Dr. Asif focuses on early detection, precise assessment, and advanced surgical reconstruction to restore normal bile drainage.
Common Symptoms of Bile Duct Injury
-
Persistent abdominal pain after surgery
-
Yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice)
-
Fever and signs of infection
-
Bile leakage causing abdominal swelling
-
Dark urine and pale stools
These symptoms after abdominal surgery require immediate medical evaluation.
Diagnosis and Evaluation
Dr. Asif uses advanced investigations such as ultrasound, MRCP, CT scan, and blood tests to identify the site and severity of bile duct injury. Accurate diagnosis is essential for planning the most effective repair strategy.
Treatment Options
Management depends on the type and extent of injury. Minor injuries may be managed with minimally invasive procedures, while major bile duct injuries require definitive surgical repair or reconstruction. Dr. Asif aims to restore normal bile flow, prevent long-term complications, and ensure durable, long-lasting results.
