Gallbladder and bile duct cancers are serious conditions that require early and precise surgical intervention for the best outcomes. Similarly, choledochal cysts—congenital dilations of the bile duct—can cause recurrent infections, jaundice, or increase the risk of cancer if left untreated. Timely surgical management is essential to relieve symptoms and prevent long-term complications.
At SurgicalSol, under the expertise of Dr. Asif Iqbal, we provide advanced surgical treatment for gallbladder and bile duct cancers, as well as choledochal cysts. As an experienced Gastrointestinal and Laparoscopic Surgeon, Dr. Asif focuses on accurate diagnosis, staging, and minimally invasive or open surgery tailored to the patient’s condition.
Common Symptoms
-
Upper abdominal pain and discomfort
-
Yellowing of skin and eyes (jaundice)
-
Nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite
-
Unexplained weight loss and fatigue
-
Recurrent fever or infections in cases of choledochal cyst
Persistent or worsening symptoms require urgent evaluation to plan the right surgical intervention.
Diagnosis and Evaluation
Dr. Asif uses advanced imaging techniques such as ultrasound, CT scan, MRCP, and endoscopic evaluations to assess the extent of cancer or cyst. Blood tests and tumor markers may also be advised to guide surgical planning and determine the safest and most effective approach.
Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the type, size, and location of the disease. Laparoscopic or open surgery is performed to remove the affected gallbladder, bile duct, or cyst while preserving normal bile flow whenever possible. In cancer cases, surgery is often combined with oncology care for comprehensive treatment. Minimally invasive approaches offer faster recovery, minimal scarring, and long-term symptom relief.
