Clinical-epidemiological characteristics and etiological structure of benign mechanical jaundice syndrome: an 11-year single-center study

Abstract

Benign mechanical jaundice (BMJ) is a common condition in gastroenterological and surgical practice. Despite its clinical significance, most studies involve mixed etiologies (benign and malignant), complicating the assessment of the features specific to benign forms. Data on the seasonality, trends in hospitalization frequency, and clinical-demographic characteristics of patients with BMJ remain limited.
