Popis: Jaundice can be diagnosed anatomically and frequently histopathologically without laparotomy by radiologic and endoscopic techniques, combined with biopsy or cytology. Benign and malignant causes of bile duct obstruction can be managed by endoscopic and radiologic methods with reduced morbidity and mortality, displacing abdominal operation for many entities. Even unresectable or inoperable lesions can be effectively palliated by these new techniques.
