Bile Duct Surgery & Reconstruction in Lucknow
Surgery of the bile ducts is delicate, specialist work. It is used to treat narrowings (strictures), congenital cysts, and injuries to the bile duct — often by reconstructing the duct so that bile flows freely from the liver to the intestine again. These operations benefit greatly from dedicated hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) expertise.
Dr Sandeep Kumar Verma performs bile-duct surgery and reconstruction in Lucknow at Medanta, restoring bile flow and resolving the underlying problem.
What bile duct surgery treats
Where a bile-duct condition is or may be cancerous, surgery is planned within the wider cancer pathway.
- Benign bile-duct strictures (narrowings)
- Choledochal cysts (a congenital swelling of the duct)
- Bile-duct injuries, including after gallbladder surgery
- Selected stones and other bile-duct problems not solved endoscopically
Reconstruction (hepaticojejunostomy)
The most common reconstruction joins the healthy bile duct above the problem directly to a loop of intestine (a hepaticojejunostomy), so bile bypasses the narrowing or injury and drains normally. Performed precisely, this gives a durable, long-term solution.
Why specialist experience matters
Bile-duct surgery — particularly the repair of an injury after previous surgery — is best undertaken by an experienced HPB surgeon, as the quality of the repair determines the long-term outcome. Dr Verma performs these operations within Medanta's fully supported surgical environment.

Bile Duct Surgery: common questions
What is a hepaticojejunostomy?
It is the most common bile-duct reconstruction, in which the healthy bile duct above a narrowing or injury is joined directly to a loop of intestine, allowing bile to drain normally and bypass the problem. Performed precisely by an experienced HPB surgeon, it gives a durable, long-term result.
Can a bile-duct injury after gallbladder surgery be repaired?
Yes. A bile-duct injury sustained during gallbladder surgery can usually be repaired, most often by reconstruction (hepaticojejunostomy). Because the quality of the repair determines the outcome, it is best performed by a specialist HPB surgeon, which gives the best chance of a lasting result.
