Hi, My Brother In Law Had An Accidental Cut To

Hi, my brother in law had an accidental cut to his bile duct during a gallbladder surgery two years ago. Ever since then he has been vomitting and hiccups always. Also bile has been leaking to out side from a tiny wound from his tummy. Last week he was admitted as his skin became yellowish and increased vomiting. Now the same surgeon is going to pass a dye to see from a camera also pass through a stent to repair the
Injured bile duct. Will my brother could be survive? According from I read if the dye get mixed with his blood it could be life threatning. How could the surgeon send the dye through a leaking tube without getting mixed with his blood? Thank you. Marnel
