Common Bile Duct (CBD) Stone Disease, also known as Choledocholithiasis, occurs when gallstones become lodged in the common bile duct. These stones can block the flow of bile from the liver and gallbladder to the intestine, leading to pain, jaundice, infection, and pancreatitis. If left untreated, CBD stones can cause serious complications that require emergency medical care. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are essential for restoring normal bile flow and preventing long-term liver and pancreatic damage.
Our experienced gastroenterologists specialize in the diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment of CBD Stone Disease using advanced endoscopic procedures such as ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography).
CBD Stone Disease occurs when one or more gallstones migrate from the gallbladder into the common bile duct, obstructing the normal flow of bile. This blockage can result in inflammation, infection, and damage to the liver or pancreas if not treated promptly.
