CHOLEDOCHOLITHIASIS Often when a gall stone or many obstruct the common bile duct, the bile begins to affect the liver. It is called choledocholithiasis. If left untreated, the problem can lead to severe complications such as inflammation of the bile duct, biliary colic, pancreatitis, etc. 4.

Often, patients who have gall bladder stones are at a higher risk of the complication. 5. GALL BLADDER POLYPS An abnormal growth protruding from the lining of the gall bladder is called a polyp. Although majority of gall bladder polyps are benign, a few can be cancerous. So, the doctor may recommend endoscopic ultrasound to ensure accurate diagnosis. 6.
