ABSTRACT
Majority of patients with advanced carcinoma gall bladder have irresectable disease and require palliation for jaundice, pruritus and cholangitis. These cases presenting with jaundice are usually high risk cases to undergo any major surgical procedure like segment-III hepaticodochojejunostomy. So intra-operative tube stenting was attempted in 6 patients of carcinoma gall bladder but technically, it was possible in 4 cases only. In 2 cases because of massive locoregional disease it was not possible to cannulate the proximal part of the bile duct. The distal end of the tube was passed either in the duodenum or proximal part of the jejunum. Patients were followed up, showed good recovery from jaundice and pruritus.
