Abstract
A statistical investigation of the effectiveness of endoscopic retrograde cholangiography in 223 patients and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography in 204 patients was performed. In typical cases of obturative jaundice of unclear etiology the endoscopic retrograde cholangiography is recommended to patients with the level of general bilirubin lower than 10 mg%, percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography--to patients with the level higher than 10 mg%.
