my grand father had his gallbladder removed. there is a tear in the bile duct now that is leaking out a lot of bile. He has now because of this lost a third of his liver function. he has a tube inserted to let the bile drain out and the bile is black. The doctors say they dont know what to do other than wait for it to heal on its own. The doctors are not giving us any straight answers what is going on with him. Does he have a good shot of getting over this or are we just looking at a dieing man. Please tell me.

Thankyou
