Liver 

Bile ducts

The liver is the largest solid organ in the body and plays a vital role in many essential functions, such as purifying blood coming from the heart, distributing it to the intestines for absorption of nutrients, and then returning it to the heart and lungs. 


It also contributes to the production of bile, which aids in the digestion of fats in the intestines, making it an essential organ in metabolic processes.

The bile ducts are a network of passages that transport bile from the liver to the small intestine. They begin by branching out inside the liver, then connect to the bile duct in the gallbladder before emptying into the digestive system, where they help digest fats and absorb nutrients.


This procedure aims to remove blockages or repair damaged ducts, which helps relieve pain and improve the patient’s quality of life. 


It may also involve reconnecting healthy ducts to ensure normal bile flow and restore efficient digestive function.

Liver Functions

  • Purifying the body of waste and toxins.
  • Production of bile facilitates the digestion process.
  • Processing nutrients for effective absorption.
  • Storage of essential nutrients.
  • Regulating blood sugar levels.
  • Production of proteins needed by the body.
  • Formation of blood clotting factors.
  • Remove bacteria and damaged red blood cells.

Bile Duct Functions

  • Bile plays a key role in fat digestion.
  • Acts as a natural emulsifier, breaking down large fat globules into smaller droplets.
  • Facilitates the absorption of fats in the small intestine.
  • Enhances overall digestive function by aiding in the breakdown of dietary lipids.
  • Helps maintain fat balance in the body by supporting efficient fat metabolism.
