The pancreas and bile ducts work with the liver and gallbladder to digest food. Problems here, such as stones, strictures, infection, inflammation or growths, can cause severe abdominal pain, jaundice, fever and digestive difficulty, and they often need prompt, accurate assessment.

Evaluation usually combines blood tests with ultrasound, CT or MRI of the bile ducts and pancreas. Where needed, ERCP in Mumbai and endoscopic ultrasound allow doctors to look more closely at the ducts and surrounding tissue, take samples and treat certain problems in the same sitting.
Acute pancreatitis is often managed in hospital with fluids, pain control and monitoring while the underlying cause, such as gallstones or alcohol, is addressed. Chronic pancreatitis needs long-term attention to pain, nutrition and digestion. Blocked bile ducts may be relieved endoscopically, and some conditions need surgical input.

Pancreatic and biliary services at Apex include:

• Bile Duct Stone Removal: Endoscopic clearance of stones blocking the bile duct, which can relieve jaundice and reduce the risk of infection without the need for open surgery.
• Stent Placement: Placement of stents to keep a narrowed bile or pancreatic duct open, used for strictures or blockages until the underlying cause is treated.
• Pancreatitis Care: Hospital management of acute episodes and long-term follow-up of chronic disease, including pain control, nutritional support and advice on avoiding triggers such as alcohol.
• Pancreatic Cyst and Mass Evaluation: Imaging and endoscopic ultrasound assessment of cysts and masses, with tissue sampling where indicated, so that the right follow-up or treatment can be planned.
