Bile Duct Surgery is a procedure performed to treat conditions affecting the bile ducts, including obstructions, infections, strictures, or bile duct cancer. The surgery may involve the removal of tumors, resection of affected bile ducts, or reconstruction to restore normal bile flow.

In cases of cancer, surgery may include resection of the bile duct, removal of nearby lymph nodes, or a liver transplant if the cancer has spread. In less severe cases, the procedure may involve stent placement or balloon dilation to relieve strictures or blockages.

Postoperative care includes monitoring for complications like infection, bile leakage, or jaundice, and supporting the patient with medications to manage pain and inflammation. Long-term follow-up is essential for detecting recurrence or new issues.

Bile duct surgery provides significant benefits for patients with biliary diseases, offering life-saving treatments for cancers and improving digestive function by restoring bile flow.
