Abstract

Obstructive jaundice is one of the most common presentations of pancreatic cancer. Often the patients present when curative
surgical resection is not possible due to late diagnosis. In these cases, palliation is the only option available. However in such
cases, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is not possible because of surrounding extensive inflammation.
This study describes percutaneous transhepatic external biliary drain placement in patients with cancer of pancreatic head when
surgical removal is not possible.
