A member asked:
In a case of a common bile duct obstruction from a gallstone, does the back flow of bile happen to the liver or the gallbladder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gall bladder sores bile secreted by the liver and delivers it into the intestine. When the common duct is obstructed the flow of bile is reduced or even stopped. There is no backflow.
