What is ERCP and how are bile duct stones removed without incisions?

ERCP combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to reach the bile duct through the mouth, allowing stone extraction, balloon dilation, and stent placement without any abdominal cuts.

How is fatty liver disease diagnosed and reversed?

Early fatty liver is diagnosed via liver function tests and ultrasound elastography. Through structured clinical lifestyle modifications, dietary protocols, and metabolic therapies, early stages are completely reversible.
