Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
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
