Bile duct reconstruction

Bile duct reconstruction is a surgical procedure that restores the flow of bile, a fluid crucial for digesting fats, from the liver to the small intestine. When the bile duct is damaged or blocked, surgeons may create a new pathway, often connecting the liver directly to the intestine or forming a new duct. This surgery helps prevent complications like jaundice or infections, ensuring bile can properly drain, support digestion, and maintain liver health. It’s an intricate process that requires precise technique to restore normal function and prevent future issues.
