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.
