Biliary Reconstruction is a surgical procedure used to repair or reconstruct the bile ducts, which may become damaged due to trauma, disease, or cancer. The surgery aims to restore normal bile flow from the liver to the intestines, ensuring proper digestion.
The procedure can involve a variety of techniques, such as anastomosis, bile duct resection, or stenting, depending on the extent of the damage and the underlying condition. Reconstruction may also be necessary following bile duct cancer or extensive bile duct injury.
Postoperative care includes monitoring for complications such as bile leakage, infection, or obstruction. Nutritional support and close follow-up imaging are essential for ensuring successful healing.
Biliary reconstruction is vital for patients with bile duct dysfunction, restoring proper digestive function and preventing life-threatening complications associated with bile duct obstructions or injuries.
