Acute Cholecystitis
The gallbladder stores bile produced by the liver, while the bile ducts transport bile to the intestine to aid digestion. Disorders affecting the gallbladder and bile ducts can cause abdominal pain, jaundice, fever, infection, pancreatitis, or digestive problems. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are essential to prevent serious complications. Dr. Dipankar Das provides comprehensive evaluation and management of gallbladder and biliary disorders, including advanced endoscopic procedures such as ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) for the diagnosis and treatment of bile duct diseases.
