Q: T-tube installation and placement

asked by: DoctorQuestion on August 26th, 2008

Okay so I was reading about this t tube thing, if I decide to have a tube (t tube) put in me to drain the bile from my gallbladder and it falls out of place or is put in wrong can the bile somehow damage any of my other organs?

Probably, if the T-tube falls out of place or is put in wrong, bile can damage your other organs.
