Bile duct stones are typically removed using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), a minimally invasive procedure that combines x-ray and upper endoscopyâan exam of the upper gastrointestinal tract, consisting of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum (the first part of the small intestine)âusing an endoscope, which is a lighted, flexible tube, about the thickness of a finger.
Bile Duct Surgery. As with gallbladder cancer, surgery to remove the bile duct and regional lymph nodes using traditional, open techniques is the most effective treatment for localized tumors. Minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy) is not generally used for bile duct surgery.
