What do choledochojejunosotmy mean?
Choledochojejunostomy is a surgical procedure that involves creating a connection between the common bile duct (choledochus) and the jejunum, which is part of the small intestine. This operation is typically performed to bypass obstructions in the bile duct or to facilitate bile drainage directly into the intestine. It is often indicated in cases of bile duct cancer, strictures, or other conditions affecting bile flow.
What causes bile duct obstruction?
A blocked bile duct is caused by biliary blockage caused by gallstones, inflammation of bile ducts, tumore, parasites or caused by diseases such as hepatitis and cirrhosis.
Is a bile duct the same as a bile?
no because bile is stored in the bile duct
When do you need surgery for an enlarged bile duct?
Surgery for an enlarged bile duct is typically indicated when there is an obstruction causing significant symptoms, such as jaundice, abdominal pain, or infections like cholangitis. Surgical intervention may also be necessary if there is a suspicion of malignancy, or if non-invasive treatments have failed to relieve the condition. Additionally, if complications arise, such as bile duct stones or strictures, surgery may be required to restore normal bile flow.
Duct transporting bile from gallbladder to common bile duct?
The duct that transports bile from the gallbladder to the common bile duct is called the cystic duct. It is a small tube that connects the gallbladder to the common bile duct, allowing bile produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder to flow into the small intestine for digestion.
What do dilated intrahepatic bile ducts indicate?
Dilated intrahepatic bile ducts usually indicate an abnormal blockage downstream. Intrahepatic bile ducts are the small bile ducts in the liver that collect the liver cells' bile for transport to the larger bile ducts that become a single bile duct.
What is Cholangiocarcinoma?
Cholangiocarcinoma is cancer of a bile duct. The cancerous tumor is slow-growing and causes a blockage in the bile duct. Some symptoms of this condition can be jaundice and weight loss.
What does it mean if you have no bile duct dilation?
"no bile duct dilation" means the diameter if the bile duct is normal.
What duct is formed by the merger of the cystic duct and the common hepatic duct?
common bile ductThe common bile duct.
Carries bile into the duodenum?
Bile is made in the liver and passes through bile ducts and into the common hepatic duct which carries it out of the liver. From here, it can pass down the common bile duct into the duodenum or take a detour into the gallbladder via the cystic duct.
Which means surgical formation of an opening into the common bile duct through the abdominal wall?
The surgical formation of an opening into the common bile duct through the abdominal wall is called a choledochostomy. This procedure is typically performed to provide access for bile drainage in cases of obstruction or other biliary disorders. It allows for the management of biliary complications, such as stones or strictures, while facilitating the flow of bile into the intestine.
