Core Tip

Core Tip: This study compared the new technique of internal-external biliary-jejunal drainage (IEBJD) for bile duct (BD) decompression in patients with obstructive jaundice with commonly used procedures through a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. IEBJD was used to divert bile from the BD directly into the initial loops of the small intestine to prevent duodeno-biliary reflux. The application of IEBJD was associated with a decreased incidence of significant complications, a delayed onset of cholangitis and its shorter duration, as well as an increased cumulative survival rate in patients with distal malignant biliary obstruction as compared to commonly used endoscopic ultrasound-guided retrograde and antegrade techniques and internal-external transpapillary biliary drainage.
