Surgeries for Gallbladder and Bile Duct

Bile is a yellowish-green coloured fluid produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder; a small pear-shaped organ located beneath the liver. Bile is needed for digestion of food, especially to break down fats. bile also helps in the elimination of waste products such as bilirubin and excess cholesterol from the body. Bile is released from the gall bladder and carried to the intestine through the bile duct when we eat food. The flow of the bile can be blocked due to the following reasons requiring surgery.
 

• Gallbladder or bile duct stones

• Gallbladder and bile duct cancer (Hepatectomy/ Whipple’s procedure)

• A choledochal cyst (birth defect of the bile duct)

• Mirrizzi syndrome (obstruction of the bile duct by external compression by gallstones)

• Benign biliary stricture (Primary hepaticojejunostomy/redo hepaticojejunostomy)

• Biliary atresia (obstruction of bile flow in infants)- Kasai portoenterostomy procedure

Pancreatic Surgery

The pancreas is a small organ present in the abdomen. It helps in the digestion of food and also helps to regulate blood sugar level by secreting insulin. Common disorders of the pancreas which require surgery includes
 

• Pancreatic cancer (Whipple’s a procedure/ median pancreatectomy/ bypass procedure)
