This operation is cholecystenterostomy. (A) Antero-colic method. When possible, it is best to unite the gall-bladderto the duodenum but under stress of circumstances that portion of the intestine(even the colon) which is most readily brought up against the gall-bladder isthe best portion to use. The operation itself is practically identical with that. IlG. 704.—{Judd, Annals of Surgery.) of entero-enterostomy (intestinal anastomosis) and requires no special descrip-tion. It may be accomplished by the method of suture, by McGraws elasticsuture, or by the Murphy button. Probably the oldest patient ever submittedto this operation was a woman eighty years of age, in whom the author success-fully used the Murphy button. Before the operation of choledochotomy wasas safe as it is to-day, cholecystenterostomy was much more frequently resortedto than at present; it averted the evils from obstruction of the common duct bystones, but it did not rid the patient of the obstruction itself or of the late effectsof the irritation from the obstructing calculus. CYSTICOTOMY 575 When the gall-bladder is anastomosed to a segment of small intestine, ithas been suggested that an anastomosis between the afferent and efferentsegments of the gut would prevent all possibility of intestinal contents gaining,access to the gall
