Abstract The classic textbook serv~ broad guide lines to classify jaundiced patients as sur6- ~1 and non surgical, oftenly this simple categorization may be an extremely painstaking task. 1. In the past the only two factors which were necessary for diagnosing jaundice before laparotomy are Yellow skin and clinical suspicion of mechanical biliary obstruction. The simplicity of those days are gone. The evaluation of the advanced new tools of investigations mainly physical and radiological, has ch-anged the situation from a matter of guess into an objective, mostly accurate way of solving the diagnostic problem. It is not enough to diagnose patients with surgical jaundice accurately before laparotomy but thro-, ugh preoperative regi~es are now well recognized and ~ust be meticulously followed if a promising outlook is sought in the prognosis of patients treated surgically. |
