Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage (PTBD) - Nan ah hospital

Package details

Pathotopic bile duct drainage (PTBD) is a treatment for bile obstruction caused by various causes such as biliary stones, bile duct cancer, or biliary duct stenosis due to inflammation, which prevents bile from draining normally. The bile drainage tube is inserted through a small rubber tube on the skin of the patient's abdomen through the liver tissue to the bile duct in the liver. The bile that is drained will be stored in a bag outside the patient until the cause of the obstruction can be treated.
