title: [Transhepatic drainage in focal liver diseases complicated by mechanical jaundice].
abstract: Results of using transhepatic drains in 43 patients with focal alterations of the liver complicated by a mechanical jaundice are described (55 operations). Transhepatic drains allowed widening the degree of surgical interventions in this group of patients. Risk of the operative interventions and lethality among these critical patients which were earlier thought to be inoperable became lower due to stage operations using the transhepatic drains.
