title: [Transpapillary endoprostheses in malignant and benign bile duct diseases].
abstract: During the last years the non-surgical drainage of the bile ducts developed to an efficient treatment method and is a real enrichment in the concept of treatment of the malignant obstruction of the bile ducts. In no more radically operable carcinomas in the area of the bile ducts, the pancreas or the porta of the liver it is to be preferred to a palliative drainage operation. In case the drainage of the bile ducts shall not be used therapeutically (through-drainage), an inner drainage in form of an endoprosthesis should always be preferred. As a procedure of the 1st choice the endoscopic retrograde technique is recommended, as procedure of 2nd choice the percutaneous transhepatic technique. Benign basic diseases are more infrequently the reason for the insert of a bile duct drainage. The main indications are general inoperability in non-extractable calculi in the common bile duct. In our own cases patients could be followed up up to 3.5 years. No complications were observed. The occlusion of prostheses does apparently not play a role.
