Summary
Congenital duplication of the extrahepatic bile duct (DEBD) is a rare biliary anomaly. Early diagnosis and surgical management are crucial for preventing complications like ductolithiasis.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Anatomy
- Biliary System Anomalies
Background:
- Congenital duplication of the extrahepatic bile duct (DEBD) is a rare congenital anomaly.
- It arises from the incomplete regression of the embryonic biliary system.
- DEBD presents with diverse subtypes and potential complications.

Gallbladder

The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ that plays a crucial role in our digestive system. Measuring about 10 cm in length, it is comparable in size to a kiwi fruit and is located in a hollow area on the lower surface of the liver. The gallbladder's primary function is to store and concentrate bile, a fluid produced by the liver that aids in digestion.
The gallbladder's anatomy consists of three regions: the fundus, body, and neck. Extending from the neck, the cystic duct joins...

Bile

Bile is a crucial bodily fluid, characterized by its yellow-green color and alkaline nature. Produced in the liver, it is transported through the common hepatic duct into either the cystic duct, leading to the gallbladder, or directly into the common bile duct. The flow of bile is regulated by the sphincter of Oddi located at the entrance of the duodenum. When this sphincter is closed, bile is redirected to the gallbladder for storage and concentration.
