[Palliative operations in pancreatic cancer]

A procedure of transcutaneous draining of bile ducts through a guided replaceable drain using the gallbladder and formation of cholecystostomy and cholecystohepatico-, gastro entero- and enteroenteroanastomoses is suggested for palliation of pancreatic cancer patients. The procedure offers a good clinical effect assuring a significantly longer survival as compared to standard palliative operations used for pancreatic cancer treatment.
