Performing an anastomosis alters the structural composition of bile ducts, which can result in bile stricture obstruction. [19] It leads to slowing of the biliary flow and dilation of the CBD, causing more progressive symptoms of jaundice. [6] An anastomotic stricture is more likely to occur if the choledoctomy incision was less than 2 cm in ...
The purpose of biliary endoscopic sphincterotomy in the treatment of a bile leak is to reduce or eliminate the pressure gradient between the bile duct and the duodenum, encouraging transpapillary bile flow and allowing the leak to heal. [7] Others: Palliation of malignant biliary strictures; Gallbladder drainage; Biliary parasite removal; Sump ...

Increased pressure in the pancreatic and bile ducts as a result of a primary stricture of the distal bile duct or blockage of the common channel can cause symptoms like jaundice, vomiting, and abdominal pain. This is frequently transient and may be brought on by impaction from a protein plug. [5] [6]
A surgically created passage between the common bile duct and the jejunum in a procedure called a choledochojejunostomy, can be carried out to relieve the symptoms of biliary obstruction as well as allows the bile duct to drain. [5] In infants with biliary atresia, hepatoportoenterostomy is an alternative method of providing bile drainage.
The bile duct [1] [4] (formerly known as the common bile duct [4]) is a part of the biliary tract. [4] It is formed by the union of the common hepatic duct and cystic duct. It ends by uniting with the pancreatic duct to form the hepatopancreatic ampulla. It possesses its sphincter to enable the regulation of bile flow.
Functional disorders of the gallbladder, bile duct and pancreas have been defined and classified by the Rome criteria for functional gastrointestinal disorders. [2] The criteria outline three variants of functional disorders of the gallbladder, bile duct and pancreas, termed functional gallbladder disorder, functional biliary sphincter of Oddi disorder and functional pancreatic sphincter of ...
Impacted gallstone in the cystic duct is obstructing the common hepatic duct. Mirizzi's syndrome is a rare complication in which a gallstone becomes impacted in the cystic duct or neck of the gallbladder causing compression of the common hepatic duct, resulting in obstruction and jaundice.
