DOCUMENTED CASE · ERCP & STENTING
1BEFORE TREATMENT
A patient arrived with yellow eyes, dark urine and itching that had worsened over a week.
2TREATMENT
At ERCP the duct was opened, the stone extracted, and a temporary stent placed to ensure free bile drainage.
3AFTER TREATMENT
Jaundice and itching settled within days; liver tests normalised over the following weeks. A planned laparoscopic gallbladder removal prevented any recurrence; the stent was removed on schedule.

What every patient can expect here — from the first call to the last follow-up.
01.
Surgery here is performed by MCh-qualified surgical gastroenterologists, not general surgeons operating outside their specialty.
02.
Laparoscopic and scarless techniques are the standard approach, reserving open surgery for cases that genuinely need it.
03.
Diagnosis, surgery, nutrition and follow-up sit under one roof — you are not handed between disconnected clinics.
04.
Every patient is told what the operation can and cannot achieve, with costs stated upfront, before anything is scheduled.

Insurance, your stay, recovery and travel — the practical questions every patient asks.
These answer cancer in general, not bile duct cancer specifically.
Warning signs include unexplained weight loss, persistent abdominal pain, blood in the stool, difficulty swallowing, jaundice and a lasting change in bowel habits. Any of these lasting more than 2 weeks deserves a check-up.
