The OBJECTIVE was to determine the best option for decompression of the biliary tract in patients with malignant neoplasms of the hepatopancreatobiliary zone to resolve obstructive jaundice before performing radical surgery.METHODS AND MATERIALS. The study of the results of examination and surgical treatment of 325 patients with mechanical jaundice caused by malignant tumors of the hepatopancreatobiliary zone allowed us to identify 93 (28.6 %) patients who initially underwent drainage operations on the bile ducts, and then radical surgical interventions.RESULTS. Stage I of the oncological process according to the TnM system (8 reconsideration) was determined in 16 (17.2 %) patients, stage II – in 71 (76.3 %) and stage III – in 6 (6.5 %). According to the ECOG scale, I or II scores were determined in all patients before radical surgery. Tumors of the head of the pancreas, common bile duct and large papilla of the duodenum led to the I level of biliary tract blockage in 81.7 % of patients. Tumors of the common bile duct and head of the pancreas (involving the cystic duct), tumors of the gallbladder and Klatskin (Bismuth–Corlette I) caused the II level of biliary tract blockage in 12.9 % of the examined patients. Klatskin tumor (Bismuth–Corlette II, IIIa, IIIb,) caused bile duct blockage of III level (5.4 % of patients). Pancreatoduodenal resection was performed in 85 patients, endoscopic papillectomy – 3, bile duct resection – 2 and bile duct resection in combination with liver resection – 3. The choice of a rational option for decompression of the biliary tract, taking into account the level of their blockage and the severity of the general somatic condition of patients, provides the possibility of performing radical surgery.CONCLUSION. Before performing radical surgery, obstructive jaundice in operable patients with malignant tumors of the hepatopancreatobiliary zone at the blockage of I level can be effectively and safely resolved by cholecystostomy, at the blockage of II level – endoscopic stenting, while the blockage of III level – percutaneous-transhepatic cholangiodrainage.
