In Japan, it is generally accepted that biliary decompression should be performed before surgical operations on patients with obstructive jaundice. However, even when adequate decompression and effective reduction of serum bilirubin levels are achieved before surgical operations, it is not uncommon for unforeseen postoperative complications to occur. In this study, we analyzed the effectiveness of biliary drainage prior to pancreatoduodenectomy in patients with malignant obstruction of the papilla of Vater clinically manifested by obstructive jaundice.
