Results of Treatment of Patients with Obstructive Jaundice

Abstract

A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 2970 patients with mechanical jaundice of benign and malignant etiology was carried out. Mechanical jaundice of benign origin was observed in 2251 (75.8%), malignant - in 719 (24.2%) patients. All patients admitted with cholestasis syndrome underwent standard general clinical and biochemical tests. Verification of the diagnosis of mechanical jaundice was performed using ultrasound, FGDS, MRCPG, ERCP. More than 90% of patients underwent minimally invasive surgical interventions, which allowed to improve the results of treatment.
