Distressing Symptoms Lead to Unexpected Diagnosis
It all began with abdominal pain that was initially suspected to be a result of gastric acid issues. However, after a visit to the Emergency Department (ED) at Mandaya Puri Hospital, a CT scan revealed the presence of gallstones that had spread into the bile duct. To address the issue, two medical procedures were performed: ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) and laparoscopic surgery.
At Mandaya Puri Hospital, Hifdzi underwent a CT scan which confirmed the presence of multiple gallstones, some of which had already migrated. The hospital’s responsive medical team and modern, comfortable facilities provided a safe and reassuring environment throughout his treatment.
First Procedure: ERCP to Clear the Bile Duct
The initial step was performed by Dr. Hendra Koncoro, Sp.PD-KGEH, using the ERCP method. This procedure served both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes by clearing gallstones obstructing the bile ducts.
ERCP played a crucial role in addressing a condition identified as Mirizzi Syndrome, a rare disorder where a gallstone becomes impacted in the neck of the gallbladder, leading to bile duct obstruction and inflammation.
Second Procedure: Laparoscopic Surgery by Dr. Ocsyavina
After clearing the bile ducts, the next step was conducted by Dr. Ocsyavina, Sp.B. Subsp.BD (K) through a laparoscopic cholecystectomy — a minimally invasive surgery to remove the inflamed gallbladder filled with stones, fat, and sludge.
This laparoscopic procedure offers a faster recovery time and a lower risk of complications, making it an optimal choice for gallbladder removal.
Dr. Ocsyavina’s Explanation of the Patient’s Condition
Dr. Ocsyavina explained that the patient presented with yellowish eyes and elevated bilirubin levels — reaching 3 mg/dL (normal is below 1 mg/dL). A CT scan revealed multiple gallstones, gallbladder inflammation, and bile duct dilation. After the ERCP procedure, bilirubin levels began to drop, and following the laparoscopic surgery, the patient showed significant improvement. Within five days post-surgery, bilirubin levels returned to normal, and all symptoms resolved.
The doctor also clarified that although the gallbladder was removed, bile production continues as usual because it is produced by the liver. The gallbladder only acts as a storage organ, so fat metabolism remains unaffected after its removal.
After undergoing both procedures, Hifdzi Khoir experienced significant improvement. The pain that had radiated to his back completely disappeared. He was able to return to his normal activities, play with his child at home, and enjoy a more comfortable life — even while still recovering. A mild postoperative nausea subsided within two days and was considered a normal, temporary side effect.
The swift treatment process, professionalism of the medical team, and the advanced facilities at Mandaya Puri Hospital made the entire experience safe and reassuring. The results were highly satisfying, highlighting the hospital’s excellence in comprehensively managing gallstone cases.
