New minimally invasive methods for internal bile outflow in oncology

: A few novel minimally invasive techniques are described for catheter-free repair of internal bile outflow in patients with neoplasms in the biliopancreatoduodenal region complicated by mechanical jaundice and in cases of iatrogenic complications of surgical treatment. The methods based on a combination of modern interventional radiologic and endoscopic technologies allow to improve the outcome of antineoplastic treatment and the quality of life in certain categories of patients. The introduction of these techniques into clinical practice of specialized medical facilities may help to optimize the treatment strategy, reduce the volume of surgery whenever it can be confined to minimally invasive treatment, decrease the employment index, increase the surgical bed turnover rate and other economic characteristics of a surgical clinic.
