What do choledochojejunosotmy mean?

Choledochojejunostomy is a surgical procedure that involves creating a connection between the common bile duct (choledochus) and the jejunum, which is part of the small intestine. This operation is typically performed to bypass obstructions in the bile duct or to facilitate bile drainage directly into the intestine. It is often indicated in cases of bile duct cancer, strictures, or other conditions affecting bile flow.
