A blockage in the bile ducts, known as biliary obstruction, can be brought on by gallstones, pancreatic cancer, or cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer). Symptoms like jaundice, itching, dark urine, and abdominal pain are brought on by this obstruction, which stops bile from moving from the liver to the small intestine.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

This involves the placement of a stent or catheter to relieve blockage in the bile ducts, allowing bile to flow and reducing symptoms like jaundice, itching, and infection risk. The procedure can be performed endoscopically (ERCP) or percutaneously (PTBD), making it the primary choice for both malignant and benign biliary obstructions requiring non-surgical management.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
