Bile duct obstruction due to stones or benign stricture is a condition that requires specialized care and treatment to avoid complications and improve the patient’s quality of life. At Dr. Hossam Hamed Center, we provide comprehensive and specialized care for these conditions, focusing on accurate diagnosis and offering appropriate treatment options.

Diagnosis:

• Medical History and Physical Examination: The patient’s medical history is assessed and a physical examination is conducted to identify accompanying symptoms and signs.

• Computed Tomography (CT) Scan and Ultrasound: These imaging techniques are used to diagnose and assess the size and location of the obstruction and to detect the presence of stones or strictures.

• Endoscopy and Capsule Endoscopy: These methods can be utilized to determine the condition of the bile ducts and to identify stones or strictures.

• Laboratory Tests: Blood and urine tests can be conducted to evaluate liver and gallbladder functions.

Treatment:

• Medication: Depending on the severity and cause of the obstruction, medications may be prescribed to manage symptoms and treat any infections.

• Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): This procedure is commonly used to remove stones or relieve strictures in the bile ducts.

• Surgery: In cases where endoscopic procedures are not sufficient, surgical options such as bile duct exploration or bypass surgery may be considered.

• Lifestyle and Dietary Changes: Patients may be advised to follow a specific diet to reduce the risk of further bile duct issues and to manage their overall health.

Follow-up:

Regular follow-up is essential to monitor the patient’s response to treatment and to check for any recurrence of the obstruction. This includes periodic imaging and laboratory tests.
