Interventional procedures such as balloon dilation and/or stent application are employed firstly for benign biliary strictures. If interventional approach cannot achieve patency of constricted bile duct, it seems that you may consider magnetic compression anastomosis as one of therapies. In case biliary strictures cannot be treated with conservative therapy, surgical approach has to be considered for treatment. In 2 cases of postoperative benign biliary strictures, choledochojejunostomy with partial hepatectomy of segment IV was successfully performed with no recurrence.
