Before treatment, Dr. Pabitra Sahu thoroughly evaluates the patient's condition, which may include imaging tests such as CT scans, MRIs, and endoscopic ultrasounds to examine the pancreas, gallbladder, and bile ducts. Blood tests are also used to assess liver function and detect markers of inflammation or infection. Depending on the specific diagnosis, pre-care may involve fasting and the use of medications to prepare the body for surgery or other procedures. For patients who require surgery or endoscopic interventions, such as the removal of gallstones or a bile duct stent placement, he provides detailed instructions to ensure the patient is physically prepared for the procedure. This may include dietary adjustments and managing any pre-existing health conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, to reduce risks during the treatment process.
