[Hepaticocholangiochole cystostomy plus construction of subcutaneous tunnel of the gallbladder in the treatment of hepatolithiasis with bile duct stricture].

A novel operation was designed by using Hartmann's pouch of the gallbladder to anastomose stone-strictured intrahepatic bile duct while leaving the common bile duct and Oddis sphincter intact and fixing the fundus of the bladder subcutaneously. 28 patients with intrahepatic bile duct stones and strictures underwent the operation successfully, and recovered well. There were no postoperative complications such as reflux cholangitis or disturbances of GI tract.
