Following Wu Ting's instructions, Liu Xingye probed a duct leading downward from the cavity into the duodenum. At the same time, probes were inserted into two small orifices above the cystic cavity—clearly, they were the left and right hepatic ducts!
"Dr. Liu, it's just as you suspected. The cavity is a complete fusion of the gallbladder, the common hepatic duct, and the common bile duct. Next, we'll perform a longitudinal resection of a portion of the cystic wall. We'll use the remaining wall to perform a tubuloplasty, reconstructing the common hepatic duct and common bile duct, and separating them from the gallbladder!"
Liu Xingye diligently followed Wu Ting's instructions.
Guided by Wu Ting's lucid thinking, they quickly untangled the relationship between the three ducts and began repairing the hepatic and bile ducts.
