develops in as many as 5% of patients whose gallbladders have been surgically removed. This condition is characterized by inability to digest fatty foods and by abdominal pain
Choledochotomy is the medical term meaning surgical incision into the common bile duct.
The merger of the cystic duct and the common hepatic duct forms the common bile duct. This duct carries bile from the liver and gallbladder to the small intestine for digestion.
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.
A biliary stent is a plastic or metal tube that is inserted into a bile duct to relieve narrowing of the duct (also called bile duct stricture).
common bile duct
The common bile duct is formed by the joining of the common hepatic duct (from the liver) and the cystic duct (from the gallbladder).
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.
In pigs, the duct from the gallbladder is called the cystic duct, which merges with the common hepatic duct to form the common bile duct. This common bile duct then carries bile from the liver and gallbladder to the duodenum for digestion.
the common bile duct
The duct that leaves the gallbladder is called the cystic duct. It joins with the common hepatic duct to form the common bile duct, which carries bile from the gallbladder to the small intestine to aid in digestion.
The cystic duct lies between the gallbladder and the common bile duct. Its' function is to transport bile from the gall bladder to the common bile duct.
The gallbladder stores bile and when it is needed it is excreted through the common bile duct and joins the duodenum at the ampulla of vater.The gallbladder stores bile and when it is needed it is excreted through the common bile duct and joins the duodenum at the ampulla of vater.Bile is made in the liver and passes through bile ducts and into the common hepatic duct which carries it out of the liver.
