Hi everyone. I don’t have cirrhosis, but my father does and I wanted some insights.
He’s a 51-year-old male with cirrhosis for ~10 years. He decompensated 2–3 years ago but is now stable with no symptoms and has stopped drinking. Likely Child-Pugh A with MELD around 10–11.
Recently, a gallstone moved into his bile duct, so we an ERCP and the stone was removed. A plastic stent is currently in place. Doctors are now recommending laparoscopic gallbladder removal, followed by stent removal after a couple of weeks depending on recovery .But there are risk involved like Decompensation,Bleeding.
Has anyone with compensated cirrhosis gone through this? How was your experience and recovery?
The procedure name is LAP CCx (Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy)
