Abstract

The management of post-cholecystectomy biliary strictures remains challenging. While endoscopic and percutaneous biliary procedures have shown high success rates in treating these benign biliary strictures, sometimes the guidewire cannot be negotiated across the stricture, making the stricture refractory to management by the endoscopic or percutaneous route. Magnetic compression anastomosis is a nonsurgical alternative used on the endoscopic and percutaneous biliary platform to create a passage across the refractory biliary stricture. We report three cases of uncrossable bile duct strictures managed with magnetic compression anastomosis. This report highlights the utility of a relatively simple technique for managing complex problems.
