Summary

In this procedure, the provider creates an anastomosis, or connection, between the gallbladder and the small intestine, in an end to side, or Y shaped fashion, to provide a pathway for drainage of bile and at the same time makes a new connection between the stomach and the small intestine. He performs the procedure to restore gastric and biliary function in the presence of a condition like inoperable pancreatic cancer.
