A percutaneous cholangiogram is a special medical imaging procedure we use to check your child's liver and bile ducts. It helps our team see if there are any problems or blockages in these areas. Here's how it works:
A small, flexible tube is gently inserted through the skin on your child's belly, and it's guided to the liver and bile ducts. Then, a special dye is injected through the tube to make these areas show up clearly on imaging. This helps the doctors see if there are any issues that need attention.
Rest assured, this procedure is safe and helps us make sure your child is getting the best care. If your child's healthcare team suggests a percutaneous cholangiogram, they will explain everything in detail and be there to support you throughout the process.
