Introduction. The most pressing problems in abdominal oncology surgery are the development of obstructive jaundice as a complication patients with malignant tumors hepatobiliary and pancreatoduodenal area, ways to eliminate it reduce risk adverse events. Our earlier research revealed 14 predictors that together more likely cause undesirable postoperative complications, including deaths during m...

BACKGROUND The diagnosis of obstructive jaundice relies on proper history taking, clinical examination, laboratory investigations and different non invasive imaging modalities like Ultrasonography (USG), Cholangio Computed Tomography (CCT), Magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) with Magnetic Resonance Cholangio Pancreatography (MRCP) and invasive modalities like endoscopic retrograde cholangiography...

BACKGROUND In patients requiring surgical resection for malignant biliary jaundice, it is unclear if preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) would improve mortality and morbidity by restoration of biliary flow prior to operation. This is a meta-analysis to pool the evidence and assess the utility of PBD in patients with malignant obstructive jaundice. The primary outcome is comparing mortality outc...

Background: Obstructive jaundice is believed to be characterized by abnormalities of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), rather than aspartate transaminase (AST). Aim: To compare liver function tests (LFTs) in obstructive jaundice due to malignant strictures with those of jaundice due to gallstones. Methods: LFTs were measured immediately before endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) in...

Hemangioma is the most common benign tumor of the liver. Liver hemangioma (LH) usually remains asymptomatic, but the most common symptoms associated with LH are abdominal pain and discomfort. LH is an uncommon cause of bile duct dilatation and obstructive jaundice. An 83-year-old Japanese woman who received hemodialysis at another hospital was referred to our hospital because of abnormal liver ...

In order to know the influence of obstructive jaundice on the function of the liver and also to clarify the underlying factors involved in the recovery process after releasing biliary obstruction. the author examined the following parameters: The respiratory function of the liver mitochondria, the activities of hepatic enzymes in serum and the ultrastructure of the liver. Male Donryu rats were ...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate alterations compatible with hepatic ischemia-reperfusion after bilioduodenal shunt (BD) in rats with obstructive jaundice (OB) . Methods:Thirty six animals were divided into 6 experimental groups: CO1 and CO2 – control groups, sham-operated (SO) and evaluated 6 and 24 hours after, respectively; OB1 and OB2, – obstructive jaundice groups, sham-op...

BACKGROUND Serous microcystic adenoma is a rare benign tumor of the exocrine pancreas originating from the ductal system and composed of a large number of small cysts covered by cuboid cells, filled with clear serous fluid and separated with fibrocolagenous stroma. Most frequently it appears in women in 7th and 8th decades, in the distal pancreas. It shows a very low malignant potential. In 2/3...

BACKGROUND Obstructive jaundice caused due to bile duct tumor thrombus (BDTT) in a hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patient is an uncommon event. This study reports our clinical experiences and evaluates the outcomes of HCC patients with BDTT in a single institution. METHODS A retrospective review of 19 HCC patients with secondary obstructive jaundice caused due to BDTT during a 15-year period ...
