Medical investigations revealed that he was suffering from Recurrent Pyogenic Cholangitis, a chronic disorder marked by repeated infections and inflammation of the bile ducts. This condition often leads to stone formation inside the liver and can cause serious complications if not managed properly. Cases of hepatolithiasis accompanied by recurrent infections are extremely rare in young adults, and the presence of multiple deep-seated stones made Rishabh’s case particularly complex. Before arriving at Max Hospital, he had undergone a procedure at another medical facility, but his symptoms persisted, and his health continued to decline. Sharing details of the case, Dr. Waliullah Siddiqui, Director – Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary & Liver Transplant Surgery, said: “Rishabh came to us with severe weight loss and repeated liver infections. Our assessment confirmed recurrent pyogenic cholangitis with multiple stones lodged inside the liver. It was a difficult case that required detailed planning and a coordinated, multidisciplinary strategy.” The surgical team performed a highly advanced procedure involving the removal of the left portion of the liver containing multiple stones, excision of the diseased bile duct, and the creation of a new connection between the right side of the liver and the intestine to ensure proper bile drainage. “The surgery was complex, but Rishabh responded very well. He made a smooth recovery and was discharged on the eighth postoperative day. At his one-month follow-up, he showed excellent improvement, complete symptom relief, and a return to normal health parameters,” Dr. Siddiqui added. This successful treatment highlights Max Super Specialty Hospital, Lucknow’s expertise in managing rare and complicated hepatobiliary disorders, backed by cutting-edge technology and a highly experienced medical team.
