What are the usual surgeries a person with obstructive jaundice should undergo?just the common ones.

Surgeries.: It depends upon what's causing the obstructive jaundice. A person having obstructive jaundice needs to see a gastroenterologist first to find out the cause. Treatments and surgeries depend upon the causative factor.
