Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS: The success rates for stent insertion in Groups 1 and 2 were, respectively, 89.2% and 86.5% (p = 1.000). The complication rates in Group 1 and Group 2 were, respectively, 10.8% and 2.7% (p = 0.358). The median (interquartile range 25th-75th percentile) durations of hospital stay for patients in Group 1 and Group 2 were, respectively, 6.5 (4-11) days and 7 (5-12) days (p = 0.614). The median (interquartile range) lengths of time for resolution of jaundice in Group 1 and Group 2 were, respectively, 3 (2-6) days versus 4 (2-5) days (p = 0.981). CONCLUSIONS:
