Bile duct stones are typically removed using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), a minimally invasive procedure that combines x-ray and upper endoscopyâan exam of the upper gastrointestinal tract, consisting of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum (the first part of the small intestine)âusing an endoscope, which is a lighted, flexible tube, about the thickness of a finger.
The bile duct is a tube that transports bile from the liver to the small intestine. The gallbladder is attached to the bile duct by a small tube called the cystic duct. Bile is collected in the gallbladder between meals and empties into the bile duct through the cystic duct during a meal.he liver makes bile that is required for the digestion of food. The bile from the liver is transported to the intestine by the bile duct. The top half of the bile duct is associated with the liver while the bottom half of the bile duct is associated the pancreas through which it passes on its way to the intestine.
