Hepatobiliary Intervention refers to minimally invasive procedures designed to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, and pancreas. These interventions provide targeted treatment, offering quicker recovery and fewer complications compared to traditional surgery.
Including benign cysts and malignant cancers.
Blockages in the bile ducts due to stones or strictures.
Cysts or tumors affecting the pancreas.
Complications arising from stones in the gallbladder or bile ducts.
Purpose: Relieves bile duct obstruction and jaundice.
Procedure: A catheter is inserted through the skin into the liver to drain bile and relieve obstruction.
Purpose: Diagnoses bile duct blockages and abnormalities.
Procedure: A needle is inserted through the skin into the liver to inject contrast dye, allowing X-ray imaging of bile ducts.
Purpose:Keeps blocked bile ducts open.
Procedure: A stent is inserted into a blocked bile duct to keep it open and allow bile flow.
Purpose:Destroys liver tumors.
Procedure: Radiofrequency waves are used to heat and destroy liver tumors through a probe inserted into the liver.
Purpose: Diagnose liver conditions.
Procedure: A needle is inserted into the liver to obtain a tissue sample for examination.
Purpose:Collects liver tissue when other methods fail.
Procedure: A catheter is inserted through the jugular vein to access the liver and obtain a tissue sample for biopsy.
Purpose: Relieves portal hypertension.
Procedure: A shunt is placed between the portal vein and hepatic vein to reduce blood pressure in the portal vein.
Purpose: Reduces high blood pressure in the portal vein.
Procedure: Treatments, including medications or procedures like TIPS, are used to lower blood pressure in the portal vein and manage complications.
Risks include bleeding, infection, or allergic reactions to contrast dye, but these are minimized with expert care.
Symptoms such as jaundice, abdominal pain, or abnormal liver function tests may indicate the need for evaluation and potential intervention.
Most interventions are performed under sedation or local anesthesia to minimize discomfort.
1.Minimally Invasive
Reduced recovery time and lower risk of complications.
2.Precision Treatment
Targeted approach ensures effective management of specific conditions.
3. Quick Recovery
Patients often experience less discomfort and a faster return to daily activities.
