متن کاملEndoscopic management of benign biliary strictures.
The majority of recent studies of benign biliary strictures (BBSs) have reported on treatment of stenotic injuries following cholecystectomy, orthotopic liver transplantation, living donor liver transplantation, chronic pancreatitis, and different inflammatory conditions such as common bile-duct-related strictures.

Most common benign biliary strictures amandable to endoscopic treatment are post-cholecystectomy, dominant biliary strictures due to primary sclerosing cholangitis, biliary anastomotic strictures occurring after liver transplantation, and common bile duct strictures due to chronic pancreatitis. Surgery is a vali...
