Abstract

Although the biliary tract is a small organ, it is diverse in location (intrahepatic bile ducts, extrahepatic bile ducts, gallbladder, and ampulla) and disease (including benign and malignant), thus a multidisciplinary approach involving endoscopists, surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, and infectious disease specialists is often required to treat biliary tract disease [...].
