Abstract

Jaundice is a very common clinical sign in the decorrence of multiple morbid conditions. Obstructive jaundice occurrs when na obstacle disturbs the natural bile flow from hepatocytes to duodenum and it can be caused by drugs, immune diseases, congenital disorders, parasites, stones or tumors. Extrahepatic obstructive jaundices are the most importan for surgeons and sometimes they do not have very tipical elevated enzymes. The intraductal hypertension and bile contamination damage seriously not hepatocytes but all the imunologic system. Preoperative decompression is still causing discussion in literature but a good assessment can prevent surgical complications.
