The male to female ratio was 1:1.08. Majority of the patients were having benign pathology (62%) and choledocholithiasis was the commonest benign cause. Abdominal ultrasound was the diagnostic imaging done in all patients and revealed dilated CBD (>1 cm) in 78% cases, dilated IHBR in 96%of cases and multiple CBD stones in 78.3% of cases. CT was reserved for suspected malignant and MRCP was planned in stone or benign causes. 70% patients were selected for ERCP and 62% of patients underwent definitive open procedure viz choledocholithotomy (40%), hepaticojejunostomy (12%).Conclusions: Obstructive jaundice in our study was more prevalent in females and the cause is mostly CBD stones.
