title: [Silicone biliary prosthesis. 150 cases].
abstract: The silicone biliary prosthetic devices presented here are useful not only for biliary bypass but also for transtumoral intubations and to re-establish biliary tract continuity after certain types of excision. They are perfectly well tolerated. In this series of 150 cases, post-operative morbidity and mortality were low and the long-term results excellent. Good results were observed in 95% of patients with cancer of the hilum. Unlike percutaneous or endoscopic prosthetic devices these do not migrate or become obstructed. Survival exceeded 2 years in 60 patients with limited lesions.
