Abstract :

Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage is usually done with ultrasound and fluoroscopy combined guidance for relief of obstructive jaundice In our study only ultrasound guided and single step percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage was performed for relief of obstructive jaundice which is very efficient and cost effective. It is very cost effective and feasible at low infrastructure set up (can be feasible at secondary level of health centres )with good outcome and very effective in decreasing the morbidity and mortality of non operable cases of obstructive jaundice
