A member asked:

What does a percutaneous cholangiogram feel like?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Not much really: You should be somewhat sedated for the procedure and if not then (of course) there is going to be local anesthetic administered. You should feel very little discomfort.

Dr Brown agreed

Specializes in Radiology

Painful: They put a needle into your biliary system with anesthetic locally but most people doe non invasive imaging first. You should consult your doctor.
