title: [Current therapy of obstructive jaundice due to cholelithiasis].
abstract: On recent development of apparatus and techniques of ultrasonography and endoscopy we prefer to try the following procedures for removing jaundice instead of surgical operation: 1) Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage (PTBD) 2) Endoscopic Retrograde Biliary Drainage (ERBD) 3) Endoscopic Naso-Biliary Drainage (ENBD) 4) Endoscopic Sphincterotomy (EST). After removing the jaundice and inflammation of bile duct, we try following procedures for elimination of gallstone: 1) endoscopic mechanical lithotripter (EML) 2) (Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) And we have got the excellent results.
