One-hundred-and-forty-five cases of malignant obstructive jaundice were seen from January 1989-December 1992. Carcinoma gallbladder (74/145) and carcinoma pancreas (67/145) were the two common causes. Fifty patients underwent a palliative surgical biliary bypass procedure. Jaundice was present in all the patients. Pruritus (40/50), cholangitis (17/50) and gastric outlet obstruction (11/50) were the other predominant symptoms which required palliation. Surgical palliation was achieved with a morbidity and mortality of 38% and 8%, respectively. Jaundice, pruritus and cholangitis were relieved in 92%, 88% and 88%, respectively. All patients with gastric outlet obstruction had complete relief. The mean hospital stay was 18.5 days. The mean survival was 6.5 months and 8.6 months for carcinoma gallbladder and carcinoma pancreas, respectively. |
