Bile duct puncture and drainage surgery is clinically known as percutaneous transhepatic cholangioperitoneal catheterization and drainage (PTCD), with the development of science and technology, the procedure now takes from ten minutes to several tens of minutes.
Nowadays, PTCD is usually performed under the guidance of ultrasound, DSA or CT, and the procedure is roughly as follows: firstly, the puncture site is determined, then local anesthesia is administered, and then drainage is performed, and the whole procedure takes about ten to twenty minutes if it goes well. If the procedure goes well, it will take about ten to twenty minutes. If the bile ducts are thin or if there are other conditions that need to be dealt with, the procedure may take longer.
Percutaneous transhepatic bile duct puncture and drainage is related to the patient’s own situation and the physician’s proficiency, so you should consult the relevant doctor for details.
