Liver, Gall & Pancreas
- Biliary Colic
colic [ edit ] Biliary colic, or pain caused by gallstones, occurs when a gallstone temporarily blocks the bile duct that drains the gallbladder. [9] Typically, pain from biliary colic is felt in the right upper part of the abdomen, is moderate to severe [en.wikipedia.org]
Other presentations (resulting from displacement of gallbladder stones into the common bile duct) include biliary colic, obstructive jaundice and acute pancreatitis. 2.2 The usual treatment option for symptomatic gallstones is cholecystectomy. [nice.org.uk]
colic and associated with complications of cholelithiasis. [6 ] Once stones are symptomatic or present with complications, there is little debate that therapeutic intervention is necessary. [tropicalgastro.com]

2 Indications and current treatments 2.1 Gallstones form in the gallbladder from cholesterol or bile pigments: they may be small and multiple, or large and sometimes single. They are more common in women and in people who are obese. [nice.org.uk]
Treatments may include: Surveillance All pancreatic cysts warrant monitoring with CT scans, or depending upon their stability, endoscopic ultrasound. [diagnosingpancreaticcysts.com]
Prognosis
The prognosis for patients with this neoplasm is poor, as diagnosis is often at late, untreatable stages of the disease. [nature.com]
