Biliary Surgery

Biliary surgery involves operations on the biliary system, which includes the liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts, to treat problems like gallstones, infections, or blockages. The goal is to remove or repair parts of this system to ensure bile flows properly, aiding digestion and preventing complications. Common procedures include removing gallstones (cholecystectomy), bypassing blocked ducts, or repairing damaged bile ducts. These surgeries can be performed through open or minimally invasive (laparoscopic) techniques, depending on the condition. Overall, biliary surgery aims to restore normal bile flow and improve the patient's health and quality of life.
