A 48-year-old male asked:

Having a concern: recently had an ercp to remove stones from the bile duct and recovered without any complications, however will the ercp or choledocholithiasis now put me at a high risk of developing biliary stricture?

If the bile duct wasn't narrow to begin with and the ERCP was smooth and nontraumatic, in my opinion, you're not at risk for stricture.

My cousin, 54, had ERCP to remove gallstones from his bile duct. After the removal of stone, occlusion cholangiogram stated that the CBD is now clear. Just want to know on his behalf, will this now put him at an increased risk of biliary stricture?

3 months ago my brother had a bile duct obstruction caused by a gallstone so 25 days later he was treated with ERCP and the stone was extracted. He had no past issues with liver. My only question is, will Choledocholithiasis cause liver cirrhosis?

My brother was diagnosed with Choledocholithiasis and 25 days later he was given Ercp treatment and the stone was removed. Bile flow fully restored. No obstruction since then. Will the liver repair itself or will it continue to remain damaged?

My brother was diagnosed with Choledocholithiasis so exactly 25 days later he went through Ercp and stone was removed. No obstruction since then. Will those 25 days of bile flow blockage prior to treatment progress to liver cirrhosis in the future?

I've been told by doctor that I can return home the same day after my ERCP (to remove a stone from bile duct) provided there are no complications. My GB has been already removed. Is it possible to get ERCP and return home the same day?
