biliary tract interventions

Biliary tract interventions are medical procedures aimed at diagnosing or treating issues in the bile ducts, which carry bile from the liver to the gallbladder and small intestine. These procedures can include techniques like endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), where a flexible tube with a camera is inserted through the mouth to explore and address blockages, stones, or infections. Other methods may involve imaging-guided techniques or minimally invasive surgeries. These interventions help restore normal bile flow, relieve symptoms like jaundice or pain, and prevent complications from bile duct problems.
