About the webinar

This webinar provides an introduction to extrahepatic biliary duct obstruction cases, focusing on the anatomy and physiology of the biliary system, species differences, common biliary pathologies, patient evaluation, decision-making including when to refer, and an introduction/brief overview of key procedures such as cholecystectomy. We will cover management of biliary diseases and aim to refine the initial approach to these cases. This session serves as a stepping stone for further study and skill development.
