A surgical procedure to repair or reconstruct a damaged or narrowed common bile duct.
From choledoch + Greek '-plasty' (surgical formation or repair). This term describes the reconstructive nature of the surgery, distinct from simple removal or opening.
When scars narrow the bile duct dangerously, surgeons can now widen it or patch it with tissue grafts—it's like plumbing repair, but for your body's chemical delivery system.
