Double bypass refers to the combination of a biliodigestive anastomosis (hepaticojejunostomy) and a gastrojejunostomy. This is used for [[Palliative pancreatic surgery|palliation]] of pancreatic, periampullary, and distal bile duct tumours which are incurable but cause bile duct obstruction. | Double bypass refers to the combination of a biliodigestive anastomosis (hepaticojejunostomy) and a gastrojejunostomy.
