Abstract:

Objective

To compare the efficacy of percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage (PTCD) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) + endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) in the palliative treatment of malignant obstructive jaundice.

Methods

Clinical data of 68 patients with malignant obstructive jaundice admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from December 2018 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The informed consents of all patients were obtained and the local ethical committee approval was received. Among them, 37 patients were male and 31 female, aged from 27 to 85 years, with a median age of 63 years. All patients were divided into the PTCD (n=36) and ERCP+ENBD groups (n=32). The jaundice remission rate and perioperative conditions between two groups were observed. The length of hospital stay and hospitalization expense between two groups were compared by t test. The rate comparison was conducted by Chi-square test or Fisher's exact probability test.

Results

After treatments, the clinical symptoms of jaundice, skin itching and liver function of patients were improved in two groups. In the PTCD group, the remission rate of high-position obstructive jaundice was 91%(20/22), significantly higher than 50%(6/12) in the ERCP+ENBD group (χ2=7.222, P<0.05). In the ERCP+ENBD group, the remission rate of low-position obstructive jaundice was 95%(18/19), significantly higher compared with 64%(9/14) in the PTCD group (χ2=5.024, P<0.05). The overall incidence of postoperative complications in the PTCD and ERCP+ENBD groups were 17%(6/36) and 32%(10/31), respectively. No statistical significance was noted between two groups (χ2=2.228, P>0.05). In the ERCP+ENBD group, the incidence of postoperative acute pancreatitis was 13%(4/31), significantly higher compared with 0 in the PTCD group (P=0.026). In the PTCD group, the length of hospital stay and hospitalization expense were (15.6±2.7) d and (2.5±0.4)×104 yuan, significantly less than (18.7±2.3) d and (2.7±0.3)×104 yuan in the ERCP+ENBD group (t=-5.140, -2.910; P<0.05).

Conclusions

Both PTCD and ERCP+ENBD are effective treatments for malignant obstructive jaundice. PTCD is more suitable for patients with high-position obstructive jaundice, whereas ERCP+ENBD is recommended for those with low-position obstructive jaundice. Both operations have its own advantages and limitations. Conditions of the patients should be considered when making therapeutic option, which can only bring clinical benefits to the patients.
