CBD stones usually develop due to underlying gallbladder problems. However, several factors increase the risk:
- Gallstones moving into the bile duct
- High cholesterol levels
- Obesity and poor diet
- Liver infections
- Aging and metabolic disorders
In addition, lifestyle habits play a significant role. Therefore, maintaining a healthy diet can reduce the risk.
You should never ignore the symptoms of CBD stones. Instead, you must consult a specialist immediately if you notice:
- Severe abdominal pain (especially upper right side)
- Yellowing of skin and eyes (jaundice)
- Fever and chills
- Nausea and vomiting
- Dark urine and pale stools
Furthermore, these symptoms can worsen quickly. Therefore, early medical intervention prevents complications.

We use ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) for CBD stone removal.
How ERCP Works:
First, the doctor inserts a thin flexible tube (endoscope) through the mouth. Then, the doctor reaches the bile duct and identifies the stone. After that, the doctor removes the stone using specialized instruments.
As a result, the procedure removes stones without major surgery.
Advantages of ERCP:
No large cuts or stitches
Short hospital stay
Fastera
recovery
High success rate
Therefore, ERCP remains the preferred treatment for CBD stones in Nagpur.
You need immediate treatment if:
- The bile duct is blocked
- Infection develops
- Jaundice appears
- Pain becomes severe
In such cases, delaying treatment can lead to life-threatening complications. Therefore, timely intervention is crucial.
At Gastro Avenue Clinic, we use advanced diagnostic tools to detect CBD stones accurately:
- Ultrasound
- CT Scan
- MRI (MRCP)

These tests help us confirm the diagnosis and plan the best treatment.
Recovery depends on the severity of the condition. However, most patients recover quickly after ERCP.
