[Endobiliary stenting with laparoscopic assistance--hybrid technology in complicated clinical situation]

The authors suggest an original method of endobiliary stenting with laparoscopic assistance for reduction of obstructive jaundice in patients with non-operative tumors of hepatopancreaduodenal zone in the case of impossibility of performance of percutaneous or endoscopic decompression of the bile ducts. A recanalization of tumor stricture was carried out with the aid of laparoscopic assistance. A self-expandable metal stent with polymeric covering was implanted in the bile ducts. The proposed method was applied in 5 cases. An adequate decompression of the bile ducts was noted in all cases. The patient's condition was good after surgery. There weren't any cases of serious complications or hospital lethality.
