Abstract:Abstract: Objective?This study is Meta analyzed of RCT. The efficacy and safety of two different palliative drainage methods, percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage?(PTCD) and endoscopic retrograde cholangio pancreatography?(ERCP), in malignant obstructive jaundice were systematically evaluated.?Methods?From the establishment of the database to CNKI, Wanfang Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, VIP, PubMed, Medline and other databases on April 2019 were searched. Random controlled trials of ERCP and PTCD in the treatment of malignant obstructive jaundice were collected. Mean difference?(MD) and ratio oddsratio?(OR) were used as effect indexes for continuous variables and binary variables, respectively. RevMan 5.3 was used to calculate their combined values and 95%CI. The differences of TBil difference, ALT difference, success rate and postoperative complications between the two methods before and after operation were made a comparison.?Results?A total of 282 cases of RCT, were included in this study, including 145 cases of ERCP and 137 cases of PTCD. There was no significant difference in TB between the two groups before and after operation (MD?=?0.10, 95%CI: -18.90?~?19.11, P?=?0.990), while there was no significant difference in ALT before and after operation (MD?=?7.27, 95%CI: -5.25?~?19.80, P?=?0.260). The success rate of operation in PTCD group was higher than that in ERCP group (OR?=?0.33, 95%CI: 0.12?~?0.90, P?=?0.030), and the incidence of postoperative complications in ERCP group was also higher than that in ERCP group (OR?=?0.33, 95%CI: 0.15?~?0.75, P?=?0.008).?Conclusion?Alleviate bile duct obstruction caused by malignant lesions. There was no significant difference between ERCP group and PTCD group in restoring liver function and improving jaundice. Therefore, ERCP and PTCD can achieve better results in the treatment of malignant obstructive jaundice. It’s believed based on the result that the success rate of operation in PTCD group was significantly higher than that in ERCP group, however, it was more prone to have complicating disease after operation.
