Hello,
With the question “Can a laparoscopic surgery be performed if the blockage of the pancreas due to bile does not circulate? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The patient was diagnosed with pancreatic duct obstruction (mainly the main pancreatic duct: Wirsung) and the bile did not circulate, indicating that there was some cause of obstruction in the right position. common bile duct and Wirsung duct. Therefore, patients should consult a gastroenterologist to determine the cause. Currently, some lesions at this site can be treated with laparoscopic surgery or oral endoscopic intervention.
If you still have questions about whether the blockage of the pancreas due to non-circulating bile can be performed laparoscopically, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
