Bile Duct Injury
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A bile duct injury is damage to the ducts that carry bile from the liver and gallbladder to the intestine; it can occur during surgeries in the area, from trauma, or from other processes that affect this region.
How it shows up: Depending on the case, it may present with a yellowish coloring of the skin and eyes, abdominal pain, fever, or abnormal leakage of bile fluid.
When to see a doctor? It requires attention when these signs appear, since the flow of bile may be compromised.
Which specialist treats it? The general surgeon and the endoscopist take part in the evaluation of bile duct injuries, and the oncologist gets involved when the context warrants it. If you have these symptoms, a specialized evaluation makes it possible to define the next steps.
