Bile Duct Surgery Surgeon in jaipur

The bile ducts are a series of thin tubes that go from the liver to the small intestine. Their major job is to move bile from the liver and gallbladder into the small intestine, where it helps digest the fats in food. Bile ducts within the liver are called intrahepatic bile ducts. The left and right hepatic ducts exit the liver and join to form the common hepatic duct. Lower down, the gallbladder (a small organ that stores bile) is joined to the common hepatic duct by a small duct called the cystic duct. This combined duct is called the common bile duct. The common bile duct passes through part of the pancreas before it joins with the pancreatic duct and empties into the first part of the small intestine (the duodenum). Any pathology leading to narrowing or obstruction in bile duct can lead to obstruction in bile flow and lead
