5-515.1:
Operations on gallbladder and bile ducts: Excision and resection of diseased tissue in bile ducts: Resection, with end-to-end anastomosis
You have had diseased tissue surgically removed from your bile ducts.
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.
Diseased tissue was removed from your bile ducts and the bile ducts were then stitched back to each other.
Sometimes the bile continues to back up, even though the bile ducts have been reconnected to each other. A small tube may then be inserted into the biliary system at the end of the operation. The tube guides the bile through the abdominal wall and out into a drainage bag.
