Incisional biopsy of other digestive organs, diaphragm and (retro-)peritoneum: Incisional biopsy of gall bladder and bile ducts: Sphincter of Oddi and major duodenal papilla

Tissue samples have been taken from the first section of your intestine.

Bile is produced in the liver. The bile is transported via bile ducts within the liver towards the gallbladder. The bile is collected in the gallbladder. When you eat something, bile is released into the intestine. This is what the common bile duct to the intestine is for. The tissue samples were taken from the area where the main bile duct leads into the intestine.

The tissue samples were taken during an operation.
