Aim:
To study postoperative complications and mortality after minimally invasive biliary decompression in patients with mechanical jaundice.
Material And Methods:
Prospective analysis included 2.072 patients with mechanical jaundice who underwent differential biliary decompression depending on the cause, level of obstruction, severity of jaundice and patient's condition.
Results:
Relief of bilirubinemia and stabilization of the state were achieved in 1696 patients of the main group (98,6%) and in 328 (93.18%) patients of the control group. Mortality was similar in both groups: 8 (0.46%) and 2 (0.56%) patients. The best results were obtained in the main group for in-hospital and post-hospital complications after retrograde interventions (χ2=4.440821; df=0.891435; p<0.05) and post-hospital complications after antegrade interventions (χ2=35.52869; df= 1; p<0.05).
Conclusion:
Differentiated approach to minimally invasive biliary decompression is followed by reduced postoperative morbidity.

Outcomes of Glycolysis
Cellular respiration can occur aerobically (with oxygen) or anaerobically (without oxygen). In the presence of oxygen, cellular respiration starts with glycolysis and continues with pyruvate...
Guidelines for Writing Outcome
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
