A rare surgical procedure creating a connection between the gallbladder and the kidney, typically performed in complex cases where other routes are unavailable.
From Greek 'chole' (bile) + 'kystis' (bladder) + 'nephros' (kidney) + 'stoma' (opening). An extremely specialized surgical term combining three anatomical structures.
This procedure is so rare it's hardly ever performed—it shows the creativity of surgeons when anatomy doesn't cooperate, and why medical dictionaries include obscure terms for procedures that only happen a handful of times yearly.
