Description

AbstractIntroductionMalignant biliary obstruction (MBO) is a common complication of pancreaticobiliary and periampullary malignancies and is associated with substantial morbidity and reduced survival. Multiple biliary drainage strategies are available, including endoscopic, percutaneous and surgical approaches, as well as adjunctive therapies. However, direct head-to-head comparisons remain limited, and the relative effectiveness and safety of these interventions are not well established.
