Disorders of common bile duct function are among adults relatively frequent. Formal treatment schemes are gradually transformed, and the interdisciplinary co-operation becomes the basic principle. The goal is to recognise the type of the mechanic jaundice, followed by elimination of the obstruction or to ensure biliary drainage without delay. The authors describe indication criteria used on Surgery Department at Bohunice Hospital in Brno. They present their results of treatment of the obstructive jaundice at a group of 576 patients followed during five year period.
