What are the health effects of bile duct removal



The main effect of choledochotomy on the body is the change of bile excretion channel, followed by postoperative complications such as obstructive jaundice and choledocholithiasis.

After choledochotomy, it is necessary to do bile duct jejunum anastomosis, bile will be discharged directly into the small intestine through the anastomosis, while normally it will pass through the duodenum first, and at this time there will be corresponding changes in the neuroendocrine aspect.

In addition, after choledochotomy and bile-intestinal anastomosis, the anastomosis is prone to stenosis and retrograde bile duct infection. There may be recurrent retrograde cholangitis, affecting liver function, and even complications such as obstructive jaundice and choledocholithiasis, which require a second surgery for bile-intestinal anastomosis resection and reconstruction if necessary.

Patients suffering from biliary system diseases should consult the doctor in time, complete the relevant examinations, make a clear diagnosis, and then take the appropriate treatment program.
