It is usually agood plan to keep a soft rubber catheter in the duct for the first day or twoafter operation. This prevents inflammation following operative trauma fromobstructing the flow of bile. The operative wound usually heals quickly andin a very few days after the second operation observations can be started. We have found this method of making a biliary fistula more successfuland satisfactory than any other. By simply passing a catheter into the openedend of the duct observations can be taken on the secretory activity of theliver, the secretory pressure of the organ, or the movements of the gall have made repeated observations on some of our animals for periods ofsix months or more, during which t
