Did you try doing a search? Here on SDN, on Google, in the medical literature?

Do you have a surgery textbook? Or Surgical Recall?

Almost every surgical text will talk about biliary drainage, and routes, indications, complications, etc.

Bailey and Love's is not a comprehensive textbook (as noted in its title); it leaves a lot of more complicated stuff out. I'm sure your medical library has many others which discuss biliary drainage. Look for Greenfield, Cameron, Schwartz and Schwartz, etc.

Google is not a first line resource either. You'll need to check the Cochrane database (since I assume you to be a foreign students) or Medline for resources that discuss biliary drainage procedures. However, when I do a Google search I come up with several pages that discuss the procedure - albeit usually for laypeople; but journal articles are also listed which can be found at your medical library. Here's one (first one that came up when I Googled "biliary drainage indications:" http://www.jvir.org/cgi/reprint/14/9/S243.pdf

No need to be patronizing.

I have Bailey and Love's on my shelf and am quite familiar with how big the text is. However, although it is nearly 1500 pages in length, it has sigificantly more white space and pictures than most other surgical texts and is not very detailed in its discussions, leaving a lot out.

Text length does not = comprehensiveness. Look at many of the longest posts here, mine included - they don't necessarily say much.

I've also flipped through the book (both in the med school bookstore and medical library) - was amazed and how sparse some of its coverage was (for certain topics).

There isn't a nearby library or medical bookstore near you, where you can look this up? Online references like PubMed or eMedicine also have this information.

If you're pursuing a career in surgery, you'll want a more comprehensive text like Sabiston, Schwartz, Greenfield or Cameron - look at the FAQ in the Surgery forum for more info.

As Blade implies, Current Surgical Diagnosis and Treatment is not a detailed text, nor is it even a text most surgery residents or surgeons would reference.

I doubt you will find a detailed description of biliary drainage in what amounts to a medical student level book. Its certainly adequate for most medical student's needs, but do not expect it to have the level of detail it appears you are expecting.
