Benign stricture of the extra-hepatic bile duct following hepatectomy for traumatic hepatic rupture.
Benign biliary stricture developing after hepatectomy is uncommon and its management remains controversial. We experienced a case of biliary stricture following hepatectomy for traumatic hepatic rupture, which was successfully treated with percutaneous transhepatic dilatation. Percutaneous transhepatic dilatation may be considered as one of the options in the treatment of anatomically complicated cases.
