Hartmann's pouch (Henri Albert Hartmann)
Related people
A spheroid or conical out-pouching of the wall of the gall bladder at the junction of the neck of the gallbladder and the cystic duct. It is probably due to the lodging of a single large gall stone in this location for a long period of time as this pouch is not found in the normal gall bladder. 1891?
