“…After hepaticojejunostomy the risk of stricture development is much lower [8], but if a stricture develops, therapeutic access is more difficult and therapeutic results are worse. Dilatation and stenting of a biliary stricture can be performed endoscopically or percutaneously.…”
Examination of a biliodigestive anastomosis presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Visualization of biliodigestive anastomosis and endoscopic retrograde cholangiography with intervention is possible with a double balloon enteroscope.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
