Summary
In this procedure, the provider removes the gallbladder, a small pear shaped organ that lies behind the liver, responsible for storage of bile, to treat gallbladder disease. He explores the common bile duct and finding a blockage that he cannot clear, he makes a new connection between the common bile duct and the small intestine to ensure free passage of bile.
