title: A combined percutaneous-endoscopic method of placing biliary endoprothesis.
abstract: Endoscopic biliary drainage is an effective and harmless method for biliary obstructions of malign origin. Percutaneous biliary external drainage (PBED) could be attempted if endoscopic drainage is unsuccessful. The percutaneous route has some unwanted effect. We have PBED into internal endoprotheses in 8 malign patients successfully without any complications.
