Elimination of jaundice through the skin
When the ducts are blocked by a tumor of the head of the pancreas, cholangiocarcinoma, or compression of the hilum of the liver, bilirubin quickly grows and poisons the body - drainage in the first days is vital and makes further treatment (surgery, chemotherapy) possible. First, the bile is drained outside; after stabilization, the drainage is transferred to internal prosthetics with a stent - the bile again enters the intestines, itching and jaundice go away. Cost of the option with a full set of consumables; Cholangiography monitoring and drainage care are explained at discharge.
Indications
- stones of the common bile duct (choledocholithiasis) with jaundice, cholangitis, pancreatitis;
- obstructive jaundice due to tumors of the head of the pancreas, ducts, and porta hepatis;
- duct strictures, the need for their drainage and prosthetics;
- preparation for radical surgery or palliative bile diversion.
Minimally invasive duct treatment
Duct stones and obstructive jaundice are today treated without large incisions: retrograde through the duodenum (endoscopic papillosphincterotomy with lithotripsy and stone extraction) or antegrade through the skin and liver (percutaneous transhepatic cholangiostomy with drainage and stenting of the ducts under ultrasound/X-ray control). The choice depends on the level and cause of the block, the anatomy and condition of the patient; The techniques complement each other and are often combined with subsequent cholecystectomy or radical surgery.
Benefits of laparoscopy
Laparoscopic access is the standard of modern abdominal surgery: instead of a 10–20 cm incision, 3–4 punctures are left, the pain after surgery is much less, the patient gets up on the day of surgery and is discharged after 1–2 days, the risk of wound infection, hernias in the scar and adhesions is several times lower, and the enlargement of the camera allows you to operate more accurately. In the clinics below, operations are performed by surgeons with extensive laparoscopic experience; hospital (SKD) is included in the price according to the price list.
