To help with bile drainage, a tube will also be inserted in the bile duct during surgery. During liver-transplant surgery, the surgeon may find it necessary to place a small tube, called a T-tube, into the bile duct. The T-tube allows bile to drain out of the patient's body into a small pouch, known as a bile bag...it is locsted in the abdominal area that is connected to the bile bag
