Bile Duct Surgery

Bile Duct Surgery
Bile duct surgery refers to procedures aimed at treating conditions affecting the bile ducts, which are the tubes that carry bile from the liver and gallbladder to the small intestine. The bile ducts play an important role in digestion by transporting bile, a fluid produced by the liver to help break down fats.
