Abstract Background The efficacy of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) has been debated for several decades, and yet indications for PBD remain controversial. The aim of this study was to compare the postoperative morbidity and mortality in patients with malignant obstructive jaundice undergoing direct surgery versus surgery with PBD. Methods All consecutive patients with malignant obstructive jaundice who underwent radical resection between June 2017 and December 2019 at Zhongshan Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. The study population was divided into two groups: PBD group (PG) and direct surgery group (DG). The subgroups were chosen based on the site of obstruction. Perioperative indicators and postoperative complications were compared and analyzed. Results A total of 290 patients were analyzed. Postoperative complications occurred in 134 patients (46.4%). Patients in the PG group had a lower overall rate of postoperative complications compared with the DG group, with perioperative total bilirubin (TB) identified as an independent risk factor in multivariate analysis (hazard ratio = 1.004; 95% confidence interval 1.001–1.007; P = 0.017). Subgroup analysis showed that PBD reduced the complication rate in patients with proximal obstruction. In the proximal-obstruction subgroup, a preoperative TB level > 162 μmol/L predicted postoperative complications. Conclusions PBD may reduce the overall rate of postoperative complications among patients with proximal malignant obstructive jaundice. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, 2018ZSLC 24.

Attitude towards preoperative biliary drainage for malignant obstructive jaundice have recently changed twice. This is due certain factors including complications of minimally invasive biliary drainage, level of bile duct block, cholangitis, need for neoadjuvant chemotherapy, time to scheduled surgery, severe general condition of patient, future liver remnant volume. We comprehensively searched PUBMED, MD Consult and National Library of Medicine using the following keywords: “obstructive jaundice (OJ)”, “cellular immunity”, “preoperative biliary drainage”, “selective biliary drainage”, “distal and proximal bile duct block”, “complications”. Randomized clinical trials and meta-analyzes, opinions of reputable specialists in hepatopancreatobiliary surgery and our own experimental and clinical studies were foreground. The analysis showed that preoperative biliary drainage is not a safe procedure and results an increased number of complications. Absolute indications for preoperative biliary drainage are cholangitis, need for neoadjuvant chemotherapy, increased risk of radical surgery and unresectable tumor. Future liver remnant volume should be considered in patients with portal cholangiocarcinoma followed by proximal block to determine indications for preoperative biliary drainage.

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of PBD among patients with malignant obstructive jaundice in current clinical settings.MethodsAll consecutive patients with malignant obstructive jaundice who underwent radical resection from June 2017 to December 2019 at Zhongshan Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. The study population was divided into two groups: a PBD group (PG) and direct surgery group (DG). Subgroups were chosen by site of obstruction.ResultsA total of 290 patients were analyzed.

Results obtained in 70 patients with neoplastic (primary or metastatic) biliary obstruction and submitted to percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage indicate the effectiveness of the technique in relieving jaundice, improving general conditions and restoring liver function. In 25.4% of cases, the drainage allowed the patients to undergo surgical treatment of the neoplasm. In 74.6%, the drainage was left in place as definitive palliation. The complication rate was very low and similar to that described in the literature. At this time it is difficult to identify prognostic factors and foresee the results of percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage, but the procedure is always indicated in patients at high operative risk or inoperable.
