    Area of Science:

    • Interventional Gastroenterology
    • Hepatobiliary Surgery
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Biliary strictures, narrowing of the bile ducts, can result from various causes including surgery, inflammation, or congenital conditions.
    • Traditional management often involves complex surgical interventions with associated risks and morbidity.
    • Minimally invasive techniques are increasingly sought for managing benign biliary strictures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and long-term outcomes of percutaneous balloon dilation for benign biliary strictures.
    • To assess the success rate of this technique across different etiologies of biliary strictures.

    Main Methods:

    • Percutaneous balloon dilation was performed in patients with benign biliary strictures.
    • Success was defined by successful dilation and absence of complications.

  • Follow-up assessments were conducted to evaluate long-term patency and outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • The procedure was successful in 15 out of 18 attempted cases (83.3%).
    • Successful dilation was achieved in 9 of 11 patients (81.8%) with biliary enteric strictures.
    • 5 of 6 post-surgical biliary strictures (83.3%) were successfully dilated, with long-term follow-up.

    Conclusions:

    • Percutaneous balloon dilation is a safe and effective treatment for benign biliary strictures.
    • The technique provides good long-term results and may be considered the initial treatment of choice.
    • Further studies can explore its role in specific patient populations and stricture types.
