    Abstract:
    Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography, as well as the therapeutic possibility of extracorporeal biliary tract drainage and insertion of an endoprosthesis are discussed in this paper. The results are presented of 19 patients treated by extracorporeal drainage and of 12 patients treated by insertion of an endoprosthesis, with a successful outcome in each group. The clinical parameters, the reduction in bilirubin values after treatment and improvement in the patient's condition and general well-being are discussed.
