Understanding Duodenocholedochotomy: A Surgical Procedure for Gallstones, Bile Duct Injuries, and Pancreatic Cancer
Duodenocholedochotomy is a surgical procedure that involves the opening of the common bile duct and the pancreatic duct into the small intestine. This procedure is typically performed to treat conditions such as gallstones, bile duct injuries, or pancreatic cancer.
The term "duodenocholedochotomy" comes from the Greek words "duodenum," which refers to the first part of the small intestine, "choledochus," which refers to the common bile duct, and "-otomy," which means "incision." Together, the term "duodenocholedochotomy" refers to the surgical incision made into the common bile duct and the pancreatic duct to open them into the small intestine.
