title: [Results of percutaneous transhepatic bile duct drainage].
abstract: Significant reduction in serum bilirubin levels was obtained in 90.7% of 75 patients on whom percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage had been carried out, either immediately before operation or as a prolonged palliative procedure. The technical requirements, complications, mortality rate and length of stay in hospital are less than following palliative surgery.
