Bile Duct Surgery in Dhaka | Dr. Aminul Islam

Bile Duct Surgery

This page focuses on bile duct conditions, including stones, narrowing (strictures), injury and cancer. Dr. Md. Aminul Islam (Jewel) provides assessment and treatment planning based on the diagnosis and individual patient needs.

Conditions We Treat

Bile duct stones and strictures
Abnormal dilatation of the bile duct
Bile duct worm infestation
Bile duct injury
Bile duct cancer
Gallbladder and liver stones occurring alongside bile duct disease

Diagnosis & Evaluation

Evaluation typically starts with an abdominal ultrasound, followed by CT or MRI/MRCP scanning to map the bile duct system in detail. Liver function blood tests and, where a tumour is suspected, tumour marker tests help complete the picture before planning treatment.

Treatment & Management

Laparoscopic (keyhole) hepatobiliary surgery for suitable cases, for a faster recovery
Open surgery for complex bile duct strictures, injury or cancer
Coordination with ERCP/endoscopic treatment where appropriate
Structured follow-up care after surgery

Early evaluation of persistent upper-abdominal pain or jaundice can prevent complications — timely hepatobiliary assessment matters.

Who Should Consult

Persistent pain in the right upper abdomen
Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)
Gallstones or bile duct stones found on a scan
Abnormal liver function test results

Frequently Asked Questions

Is hepatobiliary surgery always major, open surgery?

No. Many hepatobiliary procedures today are performed laparoscopically through small incisions, which usually means less pain and a faster recovery than open surgery.

What tests are needed before hepatobiliary surgery?

Most patients need an ultrasound or CT/MRI scan along with liver function blood tests, so the safest and most effective surgical approach can be planned in advance.

How long is recovery after hepatobiliary surgery?

Recovery depends on the specific procedure. Minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgery typically allows a quicker return to normal activity than open surgery, which needs a longer healing period.
