Many diagnostic studies and procedures are available for the evaluation of jaundice. By judicious selection of those that are most likely to lead to a prompt diagnosis and by weighing their relative risk and efficacy, the physician can better ensure the comfort and safety of the patient and the cost-effectiveness of medical care. A guideline is presented that recommends an approach to the evaluation of jaundice. It is based on a critical review of the literature and its application to clinical practice.

In a consecutive series of 118 patients with malignant obstructive jaundice at North Tees General Hospital only 70 patients were adjudged fit to undergo surgery. Tumour resection was possible in only four patients. Palliative bypass was performed in 45 patients while 21 patients had no procedure other than an exploratory laparotomy. In contrast to the accuracy of investigation the results of surgery have been poor with considerable mortality (42.8 per cent) and lack of long-term survivors. The results emphasize the role of non-surgical methods for relieving jaundice of malignant aetiology, especially in frail elderly patients and those who have metastases at the time of presentation.
