Fistulas occur when there is an abnormal connectio

Fistulas occur when there is an abnormal connection between two epithelialized surfaces that do not usually connect. Fistula-in-ano refers to a fistula between the skin and the anus. In 30 B.C., writings by Celsus advocated using a knife for treating fistula-in-ano. In cases where there were multiple openings, Celsus advocated for surgery in combination with ligature. John of Arderne (1307 – 1390 A.D.) described an operation for fistula-in-ano similar to treatments used today.

In 1877, Jean-Martin Charcot described the symptom

In 1877, Jean-Martin Charcot described the symptoms associated with the passage of common bile duct stones. Choledochotomy, or incision of the common bile duct, was practiced by several surgeons in the 1880s, including J.K. Thornton, Robert Abbe, Heussner, and H.O. Marcy. In 1890, L.J. Courvoisier was the first surgeon to operate specifically for the removal of common duct stones in a patient with prior cholecystectomy.
