A member asked:
What does mild prominence of the common duct mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk with your doc!: I believe you are referring to the common bile duct in the abdomen. This duct (tube) joins the hepatic duct from the liver and the cystic duct from the gall bladder. The common duct is sometimes obstructed by gallstones, making it wider as bile tries to pass by the obstruction. But don't believe MY interpretation! This is far too important to second guess. Ask your doctor.
