Hepaticoduodenostomy

/hɛˌpætɪkoʊˌduːoʊdɛˈnɒstəmi/ noun

Definition

A surgical procedure that creates a direct connection between the liver ducts and the small intestine (duodenum) to allow bile to drain properly.

Etymology

From hepatic- (relating to the liver, from Greek hepatikos) + duodeno- (relating to the duodenum) + -stomy (Greek stoma, mouth, meaning a surgical opening). This medical term was created in the 19th century as surgeons developed new techniques to treat bile duct obstructions.

Kelly Says

This is a fascinating example of how medical terminology is built like LEGO blocks—doctors combine Greek and Latin roots to create precise descriptions of new surgical techniques they've invented, making it possible to communicate exactly what procedure was performed without writing a whole paragraph.
