    Summary

    Early endoscopic diagnosis and treatment significantly reduced mortality for patients with obstructive jaundice. Implementing these advanced techniques led to zero fatal outcomes in the final study period.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Jaundice presents complex diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
    • Traditional diagnostic methods for jaundice carry significant risks.
    • Surgical and endoscopic interventions are critical for managing jaundice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the impact of evolving diagnostic and therapeutic strategies on patient outcomes in jaundice.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of early endoscopic interventions compared to traditional methods.
    • To reduce mortality rates associated with obstructive jaundice.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 285 patients with jaundice undergoing surgical and endoscopic treatment.
    • Categorization of patient management into three distinct time periods based on diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
    • Comparison of postoperative mortality rates and diagnostic accuracy across the three periods.

    Main Results:

    • The initial period, relying on clinical and biochemical tests, had a 15.3% postoperative death rate.
    • Introduction of early, complex endoscopic diagnosis and treatment in the second period reduced mortality to 5.9%.
    • The third period, with consistent early endoscopic application, achieved zero fatal outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Early endoscopic diagnosis and treatment are highly advisable for obstructive jaundice.
    • Integrating advanced endoscopic procedures significantly improves patient survival rates.
    • Shifting towards early endoscopic interventions minimizes preoperative diagnostic errors and postoperative mortality.
