Benign biliary strictures (BBS) can be caused by a variety of pathological mechanisms and are characterized by a reduction in the normal caliber of the biliary lumen at single or multiple points along the extrahepatic or intrahepatic bile ducts, resulting in an impaired bile flow from the liver into the digestive tract.

The aetiology of benign biliary strictures is diverse [1]. In the recent past, the most common cause of benign biliary strictures in Western countries appears to be postoperative causes, while in Asia it is due to infection such as Clonorchis sinensis in parts of Southern China [1].

Postoperative Biliary Stricture
2020Postoperative biliary stricture is a cumbersome condition secondary to biliary or vascular damage. Its risk factors include biliary or vascular anatomical variants, local inflammation, and poor surgical expertise. Intraoperative diagnosis is difficult, and in most cases, patients present with obstructive symptoms within a few weeks.

Hilar biliary strictures present a unique challenge to endoscopists because of the difficulty in securing a diagnosis for the stricture and providing adequate therapeutic drainage. Hilar strictures can be secondary to underlying liver disease, such as primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), or postsurgical complications.

Biliary stricture: A continuing study
The American Journal of Surgery, 1976Fortunately, benign stricture is becoming a much less frequently encountered problem in biliary surgery. This must be largely explained by repetitious warnings in the literature and by teachers during the past thirty years. Our efforts now perhaps should be directed toward early recognition and treatment of ductal injuries before irreversible liver ...

Management of Hilar Biliary Strictures
The American Journal of Gastroenterology, 2008Biliary strictures at the liver hilum are caused by a heterogeneous group of benign and malignant conditions. In the absence of a clear-cut benign etiology, i.e. bile duct damage during surgery, hilar biliary strictures remain a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for which a multidisciplinary approach is often necessary. A definitive diagnosis can be

Management of Benign Biliary Strictures
CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology, 2002Benign biliary strictures are most commonly a consequence of injury at laparoscopic cholecystectomy or fibrosis after biliary-enteric anastomosis. These strictures are notoriously difficult to treat and traditionally are managed by resection and fashioning of a choledocho- or hepato-jejunostomy. Promising results are being achieved with newer minimally

Biliary Strictures After Liver Transplantation
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1994Biliary strictures in the liver transplant population remain significant potential sources of patient morbidity in both early and late postoperative periods. Continuous monitoring of the patient through periodic laboratory testing, ultrasonography, and pre-emptive cholangiography permits early detection and safer management of the patient.

Biliary Strictures in Hepatic Transplantation
Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 1991Between August 1985 and December 1990, 198 liver transplantations were performed. Among 18 patients, 20 biliary strictures were identified, which were categorized as anastomotic (n = 6), nonanastomotic central hilar (n = 8), and nonanastomotic peripheral (n = 6). Pretransplant disease, hepatic artery patency, presence of acute or chronic rejection, and

Progress in biliary stricture repair
The American Journal of Surgery, 1975Between 1967 and 1970 inclusive, 119 patients underwent 158 operations for the relief of benign bile duct stricture. During this time hepaticojejunostomy was favored for biliary reconstruction, since eighty procedures were of this type. Thirty-eight were end to end repairs and the remainder were a variety of other types.
