CBD dilated and Cholelithiasis
My mother, 60 years old, has been experiencing acidity, vomiting, and stomach pain. The doctor advised USG and MRCP, which revealed cholelithiasis and a dilated CBD measuring 7 mm. Her SGPT, SGOT, and GGTP levels are elevated, but lipase and amylase are normal. We are a bit confused as some doctors suggest placing a stent in the CBD first, followed by gallbladder removal surgery, while others recommend proceeding directly with gallbladder removal. Could you please advise if stent placement is truly necessary in this case, or can we go directly for gallbladder removal surgery? Reports are attached for your reference.
