Obstructive Jaundice
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.
What is Obstructive Jaundice?
Obstructive jaundice occurs when the normal flow of bile from the liver to the intestine is blocked. Common causes include bile duct stones, strictures, pancreatitis, and cancers of the bile ducts or pancreas.

Doctor's Advice
"Persistent upper abdominal pain, jaundice, fever with chills, dark urine, pale stools, or unexplained itching should never be ignored. Early evaluation and timely treatment—including ERCP when appropriate—can prevent serious complications and often provide rapid relief from biliary obstruction."
