Abstract:
Since 1965, 101 operations for benign bile duct stricture have been performed, including 51 Roux-en-Y end-to-side hepaticojejunostomies. Complete follow-up to a mean of 12.5 years has been achieved. Nine patients required reoperation for stricture; the total cumulative late patency rate was 90 per cent, including successful repair. Seven of the nine patients who underwent a second operation had a favourable outcome. Early hepaticojejunostomy is a satisfactory treatment for recurrent biliary stricture.

Esophageal strictures involve abnormal narrowing or tightening of the esophagus. They vary in length and severity, ranging from mild constriction to complete obstruction, and are classified as benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
Etiology
The primary cause of esophageal strictures is long-standing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), accounting for about 70 to 80% of adult cases. Chronic acid reflux can lead to injury and scarring of the esophageal lining, culminating in...
