Bile Flow Correlation System for Post-Cholecystectomy Dosage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
After gallbladder removal, there is a challenge in determining the exact amount of bile required for post-operative compensation to maintain digestive balance, as the body fails to compensate for the lack of bile delivery, leading to disturbed bile flow and digestive system issues.
Innovation Solution
A system and method using a processor to receive bile-flow rate and physiological parameters, creating a graph to determine the correlation between bile flow and fatty food intake, and calculating the injectable amount of bile required for a patient, which can be administered through an injectable device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If gallbladder removal surgery is performed to treat gallstones and related problems, then the patient is relieved of gallstone-related symptoms, but the patient experiences disturbed bile flow and digestive system issues due to lack of bile delivery compensation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an external bile delivery system that acts as an intermediary to compensate for the removed gallbladder's function. The system includes a bile reservoir, delivery catheter, and control mechanism that collectively serve as a mediator to restore bile flow regulation and maintain digestive system reliability post-surgery
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the state of bile delivery from natural passive flow to controlled active delivery. By adjusting delivery parameters such as flow rate, timing, and amount of bile administered through the external system, the patent restores reliable digestive function while eliminating gallbladder-related pathologies
2Reliability
If external bile delivery is provided to compensate for gallbladder removal, then digestive balance can be maintained, but determining the exact amount of bile required becomes a challenging task
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system monitors digestive system response and adjusts bile delivery parameters accordingly. Sensors detect digestive status and feed this information back to the control system, which automatically adjusts the amount and timing of bile delivery to maintain optimal digestive balance without requiring complex manual calculations
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables the bile delivery system to automatically regulate its own operation based on real-time digestive system conditions. The system self-adjusts bile delivery parameters without requiring external intervention or complex dosage calculations by practitioners, simplifying the overall system while maintaining reliable digestive function

AI summary
Disclosed is a system and a method for determining an injectable amount of bile required for a patient after gallbladder removal. The system comprises a receiving module, a creating module, and a determining module. The receiving module may receive a bile-flow rate, physiological parameters of a patient, and amount of fatty food in an alimentary tract of the patient. Based on these data received, the creating module may create a graph. Further, the determining module may determine a correlation between the bile-flow rate and the amount of fatty food in the alimentary tract based on the graph created. The correlation may be determined corresponding to a normal person and the patient which may be seen by two separate curves on the graph. Further, the determining module may determine an injectable amount of bile required for the patient based on the correlation.
