Managing postoperative biliary strictures requires a multidisciplinary team approach. Hepaticojejunostomy is preferred, with prolonged stenting as an alternative, but lifelong follow-up is essential due to potential recurrence.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatology
  • Surgical Sciences

Background:

  • Postoperative biliary stricture presents a complex clinical challenge.
  • Effective management necessitates collaboration across multiple medical disciplines.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the multidisciplinary approach for managing postoperative biliary strictures.
  • To discuss current therapeutic options and long-term management strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and clinical practice guidelines.
  • Emphasis on the collaborative roles of endoscopists, interventional radiologists, and biliary surgeons.

Main Results:

  • Hepaticojejunostomy is identified as the primary therapeutic intervention.
