Evaluation of Complications

Focusing on the management of obstructive jaundice, the book discusses the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to treatment, highlighting percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) as an effective yet invasive option. It addresses the complications associated with PTBD and introduces the Hull Risk Stratification Index, which helps identify patients at higher risk for immediate and early complications, as well as procedural mortality, enhancing patient safety and treatment outcomes.
