Overview
Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with jaundice. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either cirrhosis, cholestasis, and liver failure. The surgical procedures which are used to treat jaundice include transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting (TIPS), cholecystectomy, and liver transplantation.

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting
- Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting (TIPS) is bypassing the high flow rate of portal vein into the systemic veins.
- TIPS would decrease the pressure over the portal system and a decreased risk of complications, such as:[1]
Cholecystectomy
Liver transplantation
- Liver transplantation is indicated in case of liver failure.
- Liver failure may be happened due to any diseases, such as cirrhosis or chronic portal hypertension.[2]
