Gallbladder Removal In Diabetes 1 Patient Posted: 02-13-04 16:53pm
24 yr. Old man with diabetes for 5 years
requires gallbladder removal.
Dr. Says bile duct is mildly inflamed, so
ordered mrcp test for 2/7/04.
If no conclusions are drawn from that, an
ercp test will be recommended.
I have read everything I can on the ercp
and it scares me. As his grandmother, I
would like to know #1, how safe is it?
#2, what are the treatment methods if
there is a stone in the duct, #3, will his
diabetes influence methods? #4, pro's
and con's on open surgery as opposed to
laparoscopic.
