1 Gallstones can block the tubes (ducts) through which bile flows from your gallbladder or liver to your small intestine. 2  Jaundice and bile duct infection can result. 3  Blockage of the pancreatic duct. 4  The pancreatic duct is a tube that runs from the pancreas to the common bile duct. Complications of gallstones may include: 1  Inflammation of the gallbladder. 2  A gallstone that becomes lodged in the neck of the gallbladder can cause inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis). 3  Cholecystitis can cause severe pain and fever. 4  Blockage of Overview. A biliary obstruction is a blockage of the bile ducts. The bile ducts carry bile from the liver and gallbladder through the pancreas to the small intestine (the duodenum). Bile is a dark-green or yellowish-brown fluid secreted by the liver to digest fats. Much of the bile is released directly into the small intestine, but what remains is stored in the gallbladder. The biliary duct (the duct from the gallbladder) also opens into the common hepatic duct. The bile duct from this point onward is known as the common bile duct or choledochus. Before emptying into the small intestine the common bile duct passes through the pancreas. The bile duct is long tube-like structure that connects the liver to the intestine. The 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. It opens in the part of the intestine called the duodenum into a structure called the Ampulla. Blockage of the bile duct by a cancer or scarring from injury prevents the bile from being transported to the intestine and the bile accumulates in the blood. This condition is called jaundice and the skin and eyes becomes yellow from the accumulated bile in the blood. This condition also causes severe itchiness 1 Cholecystitis can cause severe pain and fever. 2  Blockage of the common bile duct. 3  Gallstones can block the tubes (ducts) through which bile flows from your gallbladder or liver to your small intestine. 4  Jaundice and bile duct infection can result.

It contains cholesterol, bile salts, and waste products such as bilirubin. Bile salts help your body break down (digest) fats. Bile passes out of the liver through the bile ducts and is stored in the gallbladder. After a meal, it is released into the small intestine.  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. It opens in the part of the intestine called the duodenum into a structure called the Ampulla. Blockage of the bile duct by a cancer or scarring from injury prevents the bile from being transported to the intestine and the bile accumulates in the blood. This condition is called jaundice and the skin and eyes becomes yellow from the accumulated bile in the blood. This condition also causes severe itchiness The biliary tract consists of small tubes (ducts) that carry bile from the liver to the gallbladder and then to the small intestine. The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped sac located beneath the liver. Injury to the bile ducts during gallbladder surgery. Disorders of the pancreas, which can narrow the bile ducts that pass through the pancreas. Tumors in the pancreas or bile ducts. Infestation by parasites (in Asia). If the bile ducts are blocked, the gallbladder may become inflamed.
