  • Title: [Decompression of the biliary tract in preparation for radical surgery of patients with obstructive jaundice and cholangitis].
    Author: Ermolov AS, Iurchenko SV, Lasaev NA.
    Journal: Khirurgiia (Mosk); 1994 Sep; (9):24-8. PubMed ID: 7837739.
    Abstract:
    Rational use of mildly invasive percutaneous and endoscopic instrumental interventions for decompression of the biliary tract in patients with cicatricial and tumor strictures of the pancreaticobiliary zone rapidly arrests the manifestations of obstructive jaundice. This reduces considerably the risk of the subsequent operation. Analysis of the results of radical surgical treatment of 12 patients with posttraumatic cicatricial strictures and tumors of the biliary tract showed the advantages of two-stage tactics in the management of these patients. The use of such tactics in the clinic led to a decrease of the incidence of postoperative complications to 42.8% and was attended with a favorable outcome in all cases.
