At age 16 years, a hepaticoduodenostomy with a jejunal interposition was carried out resecting the common duct. She developed fever, jaundice, disorders in liver function and leukocytosis since 3 months after the second operation. Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography was carried out at 1 year and 3 months after the operation. There was a severe stomal stricture. Nonoperative dilatation using a Gruntzig balloon catheter was successfully performed to dilate the stoma to 5 mm in diameter. Subsequent clinical course and result of laboratory tests have been satisfactory for 8 months after dilatation.
