title: [Diagnosis and treatment of mechanical jaundice].
abstract: The article generalizes an experience with the treatment of 276 patients with mechanical jaundice. The correct diagnosis was made in 75% of cases by routine clinical methods, while laparoscopy gave the correct diagnosis in 92% of the patients. Benign jaundice was found in 218 patients, 216 of them being operated upon. Eighteen patients died after operation (8.3%). Most patients were subjected to associated operations. Terminolateral choledochal anastomosis which was used in 22 patients is positively estimated. Tumors were responsible for jaundice in 58 patients (21%). All of these patients were operated upon. Eight patients died after operation (13.8%).
