Neoplasms of the biliopancreatic confluence may present with obstruction of the bile tract, leading to jaundice, pruritus and cholangitis. In these cases drainage of the bile tract is imperative. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with placement of a choledochal prosthesis is an effective treatment in about 90% of cases, even in experienced hands.

Remedial biliary surgery most often entails a Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy.

A technique of intraoperative placement of transparietohepatic biliary drainage was devised.

Background: Bile peritonitis has a diversified aetiology that can present in clinical pictures of variable gravity depending on whether the bile is uncontaminated or activated by other secretions (intestinal, pancreatic) or actually infected.

Background: The very low frequency of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) of the extrahepatic biliary tree has impeded the development of a standardized form of treatment.
Procedure: Based on the good response of embryonal RMS to chemotherapy, we used a multi-drug protocol as the initial treatment of a 3-year-old girl after obtaining adequate transparietohepatic biliary drainage. The treatment achieved complete remission.

The unresectable Klatskin tumors can benefit from surgical polliction through intrahepatic biliodigestive anastomosis or surgical stenting (lost tube, "U" tube-Terblanche or "T" tube). 85 Klatskin tumors were operated in 20 years in the Surgery Clinic "Colentina" and in the Surgery Clinic "Interdepartamental". Surgical stenting was performed in 13 cases.
