pubmed:abstractText |
Fourteen patients with hepatic duct obstruction were treated by inserting a Vitallium prosthesis through the strictured area. Eleven had proven cholangiocarcinoma; in 3 a definitive diagnosis wsa not obtained. Jaundice was relieved and patients were afforded good palliation. Obstruction of the prosthesis has not been a problem and the absence of external drainage tubes has been a factor in improving the quality of life of these patients. The simplicity of the operation is emphasized.
