    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Medicine

    Background:

    • Benign biliary strictures can lead to significant complications including jaundice and infection.
    • Surgical management of biliary strictures is often complex and associated with variable success rates.

    Observation:

    • Percutaneous transhepatic decompression was utilized in two patients with benign biliary strictures.
    • The procedure involved decompression of the biliary system via a transhepatic approach.

    Findings:

    • Percutaneous transhepatic decompression provided relief of jaundice in both patients.
    • The intervention successfully controlled infection and improved nutritional status.
    • These improvements are critical factors for successful surgical management.

    Implications:
