	WPXI.com - Health Encyclopedia - Biliary Stricture
		Biliary stricture is an abnormal narrowing of the biliary duct, the tube that moves bile (a chemical used in digestion) from the liver to the small intestine.
		Biliary strictures are often caused by surgical injury to the bile ducts, for example, after surgery to remove the gallbladder (cholecystectomy).
		Depending on the location, the stricture may be surgically removed and the biliary duct rejoined with the small intestine or the hepatic duct.

	Extrahepatic Biliary Atresia
		Specimens of excised tissue from the porta hepatis in 26 infants with extrahepatic biliary atresia undergoing hepatic portoenterostomy were analysed histologically for the presence and size of biliary ductules.
		Concerning the pathogenesis of biliary atresia, we presume that congenital abnormalities of bile ducts are a basic factor, and additional nonspecific inflammation and bile stasis complete its pathological condition.
		Sustained biliary drainage is related to age at operation, the size of biliary ductules at the porta and the subsequent development of cholangitis.

	Dr. Koop - Biliary stricture (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Biliary stricture involves an abnormal narrowing of the biliary duct that transports bile (a chemical used in digestion) from the liver to the small intestine.
		Biliary strictures are often caused by surgical trauma to the bile ducts, for example, after surgery to remove the gallbladder (cholecystectomy).
		Other causes of this condition are blunt injury to the intestine, pancreatitis, breakdown of the duct by a gallstone in the bile duct, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and cancer of the bile duct.

	Biliary Cirrhosis / Bile Duct Cancer
		Biliary cirrhosis is a rare form of liver cirrhosis, caused by disease or defects of the bile ducts.

	eMedicine - Biliary Obstruction : Article Excerpt by: Jennifer Lynn Bonheur, MD
		Background: Disorders of the biliary tract affect a significant portion of the worldwide population, and the overwhelming majority of cases are attributable to cholelithiasis (gallstones).
		In response to a meal, this bile is released from the gallbladder via the cystic duct, which joins the hepatic ducts from the liver to form the CBD.
		The clinical setting of cholestasis or failure of biliary flow may be due to biliary obstruction by mechanical means or by metabolic factors in the hepatic cells.

	Biliary Stenting Information on Healthline
		A biliary stent is a plastic or metal tube that is inserted into a bile duct to relieve narrowing of the duct (also called bile duct stricture).
		Biliary stenting is used to treat obstructions that occur in the bile ducts.
		A biliary stent is a thin, tube-like structure that is used to support a narrowed part of the bile duct and prevent the reformation of the stricture.

	MUSC DDC - Pancreas & Biliary Tree
		The pancreatic juices are made in the acinar tissues, and passed by secretion into the tubes (ducts) for transport into the second part of the upper small intestine (duodenum).
		The biliary juices (bile) are made in the tissues of the liver (hepatic parenchyma), and then pass into the biliary ductal system (picture).
		The bile duct (biliary) system provides the channels through which bile is transported from the liver to the duodenum (through the papilla of Vater).

		Biliary Atresia is a defect in the development of the bile ducts that drain from the liver into the intestines that is characterized by obliteration of the biliary system, resulting in obstruction to bile flow.
		Ducts within the liver, extending to the portal hepatis, are initially patent in the most prevalent type III histopathological variant during the first few weeks of life but may progressively be destroyed by the same agent(s) that damaged the extrahepatic ducts and by the effects of retained toxins in bile.
		Incases in which biliary patency is associated with ductual hypoplasia, further surgical intervention is not indicated, and bile may be collected to evaluate for disorders of bile acid metabolism.

	Hepaticocystic Duct
		The classical textbook anatomy of the biliary tract is seen in less than 50 % of cases, and the extrahepatic biliary system is said to have more anomalies in one cubic centimeter of the space around the region of the cystic duct than any other part of the body.
		Anomalies of the extrahepatic biliary tree may arise from the gallbladder, cystic duct, hepatic ducts or the common bile duct as a result of aberrations of the normal embryological development, and it is necessary to be familiar with them in order to avoid the disastrous consequences that may follow misrecognition at the time of surgery.
		Drainage of both the ducts into a roux loop of the jejunum (as roux-en-y hepaticojejunostomy), partial cholecystectomy and choledochoplasty using a cuff of the gallbladder, or, direct suturing of the common hepatic duct to the cystic duct are the available options.

	Bile Duct Cancer treatment at Mayo Clinic
		Cancers of the biliary tract (gallbladder and bile ducts) seldom produce symptoms in the early stages.
		Bile duct cancer is a malignant growth in the ducts that carry bile from the liver to the small intestine.
		Bile duct cancer develops in a significant number of patients with diseases of the biliary tree, such as primary sclerosing cholangitis, intraductal gallstones, biliary tree strictures and choledochal cysts.

	Gallbladder and Biliary Tract Disease
		Some patients experience biliary colic, an intermittent and often severe pain in the epigastrium or right upper quadrant and at times between the scapula caused by temporary obstruction of the cystic duct with a gallstone.
		Once biliary dilatation or the presence of a common duct stone is noted on an imaging study, or biliary obstruction is strongly suspected on clinical grounds despite negative imaging studies, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERC) is recommended.
		Mirizzi's syndrome is caused by an impacted cystic duct stone leading to gallbladder distention and subsequent compression of the extrahepatic biliary tree.

	MUSC DDC - Diseases: Pancreas & Biliary Tree
		The presence of some form of duct obstruction can often be suspected by scanning (ultrasound, CT or MRCP), because the duct may become larger (dilated).
		Similar pains can be caused by cancer of the pancreas (although this is not usually intermittent), stones in the gallbladder and bile duct (biliary colic), or severe types of gastric or duodenal ulcer.
		In the case of pancreatic fistulas, this happens when the pancreatic duct is blocked, particularly after an injury to the pancreas or surgery to it.

		The majority of bile duct cancers develop in the part of the ducts that are outside the liver and are sometimes referred to as extrahepatic tumors.
		Most bile duct cancers are adenocarcinomas which means they develop from the glandular cells of the bile duct.

		About 50% of bile secreted in the fasting state passes into the gallbladder via the cystic duct; the rest flows directly into the distal or common bile duct.
		Cholecystokinin and perhaps other GI hormone peptides (eg, gastrin-releasing peptide) are released from duodenal mucosa; cholecystokinin stimulates the gallbladder to contract and the biliary sphincter to relax.
		The ampulla of Vater consists of the terminal intramural segments of the biliary and pancreatic ducts and of the two or three sphincter segments and surrounding soft tissue.

		Biliary strictures are often caused by surgical trauma to the bile ducts.
		The leakage of bile that results can lead to localized infection and scar tissue formation, which can impair the functioning of the bile ducts and sometimes nearby organs, such as the liver.
		The objective of surgical therapy is to re-establish the flow of bile from the liver into the intestine.
