Endoscopic treatment of severe benign post-operative bile duct stricture: an efficient and safe option in patients unsuitable for surgery

ABSTRACT

The authors present a male patient submitted to conventional emergency cholecystectomy who later on developed a complex stenosis of the common liver duct. Considering the impossibility of surgical treatment, they decided to pass multiple prostheses and were successful in the endoscopic treatment, which was proven in the cholangiography performed when the prostheses were removed.
