title: [Tumours of the hepatic hilus. Palliative treatment by trans-hepatobiliary T-tube drainage (author's transl)].
abstract: Non-resectable tumours of the hepatic hilus require palliative treatment, and this can be achieved by means of a trans-hepatobiliary T-shaped tube devised by the authors. The longer branch of the tube going through the bile ducts and liver can as easily be removed when obstructed as a U-shaped tube. The shorter branch going through the common bile duct ensures internal biliary drainage. The drain can easily be changed under fluoroscopy.
