BILE DUCT COMPLICATIONS Pathophysiology The biliary tract is normally reconstructed by performing either a duct-to-duct or a biliary-entericanastomosis. Is-chemic and traumatic injury and iatrogenically introduced abnormalanatomyare underlying factors that predispose to mucosal damage, poor wound healing, ...
The exocrine portion of the pancreas produces digestive enzymes that drain through its ductal system through the same ampulla; in addition, the endocrine pancreas makes hormones regulating blood glucose. This chapter briefly reviews the anatomy and physiology of the biliary tree and pancreas and ...
Relaparoscopy has diverse uses as it allows intra-abdominal lavage, drainage of biloma, and intra-abdominal collection with the placement of a drain, clipping/ligating of any accessory ducts or an insecure cystic duct, inspection of the biliary anatomy with potential treatment (i.e., releasing a...
Picture 1. The bile flow The Bile Production and Secretion by the Liver The bile is produced in the liver cells and secreted into the small channels between them (the bile canaliculi). The bile flows out of the liver via the common hepatic duct [3] (Picture 1). In adults, the liver...

The bile duct system is a pathway of bile transportation from the liver to the intestine and plays a role of exocrine function of the liver. It consists of two different types of epithelial cells, hepatocytes and cholangiocytes. Anatomically as well as developmentally, the bile duct could be...
