Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage (PTBD) is a medical procedure used to drain bile from the liver when its natural flow is blocked.
PTBD involves the insertion of a drainage catheter through the skin and into the liver to drain bile from the biliary system, thereby bypassing the blockage and allowing bile to flow freely.
The full form of PTBD is Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage
