Abstract:

Objective

To determine the benefits and harms of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) in malignant obstructive jaundice.

Methods

The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database were searched up to June 2010 added with handsearching and other retriecals. The Cochrane Collaboration’s RevMan 5.0 was used for Meta-analyses.

Results

Seven RCTs were included. Meta-analyes showed no significant difference of mortality (P=0.88) and overall morbidity (P=0.66) between PBD group and controlled group. Lower postoperative morbidity was found in percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) group(OR=0.49, 95% CI=0.31-0.79, P=0.003), the patients with high bilirubinemia (serum total bilirubin>200 μmol/L) (OR=0.56, 95% CI=0.37-0.84, P=0.006) and PBD less than 4 weeks (OR=0.60, 95% CI=0.39-0.93, P=0.02) significantly.

Conclusions

Selecting the appropriate cases, taking appropriate drainage way, controlling proper drainage time, PBD could decrease postoperative morbidity of malignant obstructive jaundice but has no significant beneficial effect on mortality and overall morbidity.
