The reasons of complications and deaths in 98 aged patients with obstructive jaundice were analysed in the paper. Among them, 52 cases were diagnosed as benign obstruction, 46 cases as malignant obstruction; 92 patients were treated by surgical management(15 died), 6 patients were treated without operation(4 died). The results showed that effective management on time and intensive perioperative care are important to minimize the mortality rate. Malignant obstructive jaundice was more harmful to the patients' renal function no the mortality rate would be increased. The operations, internal drainage and pressure reduction of biliary duct, were performed on time, thus the survival rate was improve.
