Pathophysiology of biliary obstruction is characterized by cholestasis, obstruction, inflammation, and exudation. Clinical signs and laboratory examination findings are nonspecific. Ultrasonographic examination of the biliary tract aids significantly in diagnosis. The aims of feline biliary surgery are to determine the underlying cause and extent of the obstruction, restore bile flow to the gastrointestinal tract, and prevent bile leakage and subsequent peritonitis. Surgical techniques to restore bile flow and decompress the biliary distension include cholecystostomy tube placement and choledochal stenting, cholecystectomy, choledochotomy, and biliary diversion procedures. Surgical management of extrahepatic biliary obstruction carries a fair to guarded prognosis. Cats undergoing biliary diversion procedures have poorer outcomes than those undergoing nondiversion procedures. Cats with neoplastic involvement have significantly shorter lives than those with inflammatory involvement. (c) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 收起
