Done With Cat Scan Of Liver And Gall Bladder. Shoulder Is Sore. Need Medical Opinion?

Detailed answer...
Putting an camera in your system to visualise your bile duct is called as ERCP ( endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography ).
ERCP is not only diagnostic but also curative as your surgeon can take out the stone lodged in the common bile duct ( CBD ).
Once the stone is taken out from your CBD,your jaundice gets improved and then your gall bladder can be removed laparoscopically.
It is very essential to remove your CBD stone,before taking out your gall bladder,because removal of gall bladder without taking out your CBD stone would worsen your jaundice and CBD stone can not be taken out during gall bladder surgery.
I hope it helps however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
