Platinum Health, LLC.: Duodenum

Diseases of the Duodenum: The stomach delivers its contents into the small intestine, which is about 24 feet in length. The first portion of the intestinal tract, the duodenum, is routinely evaluated during upper endoscopy. It is also the site where the hepatobiliary tract and pancreas deliver their contents to assist in the digestion of food.

Balloon Stone Extraction
After a sphincterotomy is performed, a balloon tipped catheter is inserted into the bile duct, inflated above a stone and dragged down the duct to remove the stone. Here, a pigment stone is about to be removed from the orifice.
