Hi Doctors,. Please find the attached MRCP test report done on 3rd June for my mother aged 70 years. On 5th June, she undergone ERCP below are comments from Discharge Summary " EUS was suggestive of cholelithiasis, dilated CBD with distal CHD sludge, ERCP balloon done, sphincterotomy done, biliary stent placed on 05-06-25, the procedure was eventful. Advised - Lap. Cholecystectomy at the earliest f/b ERCP CBD Stent removal 3 weeks after Lap. Cholecystectomy". Kindly suggest after ERCP stent, gallbladder removal surgery still needed? Or USG and check current status?I dont want to blind go for surgery as the hospital is very commercial. Please advise any test/USG should be done? Stent removal required? Kindly reply in detail! Thanks a lot.
