Introduction: Biliary enteric anastomosis is a well-known biliary reconstruction method. Anastomosis stricture is one of the complications of this procedure that occurs in some patients over the long-term. We report a successful case of hepatic ductoplasty combined with hepaticojejunostomy (H-J) for the treatment of iatrogenic Bismuth type 2 stricture.
Presentation Of Case: The patient was a 68-year-woman who had undergone choledochojejunostomy (C-J) 6 years earlier due to bile duct injury after laparoscopic cholecystectomy for cholelithiasis. She complained of recurrent chills and upper back pain. Cholangiography and computed tomography revealed a C-J anastomotic stricture with hepatolithiasis. The diagnosis was reflux cholangitis with hepatolithiasis due to C-J stricture and a fistula between the reconstructed jejunal limb and duodenum. Exploration was performed, and she underwent hepatic ductoplasty with H-J and hepaticolithotripsy. Surgery was performed uneventfully and the patient has remained well subsequently.
Discussion And Conclusion: We propose hepatic ductoplasty as a useful technique for the treatment of selected patients with a C-J stricture or narrow hepatic duct.

Background: Application of robotic platform for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma is an emerging technique requiring expertise in both minimally invasive hepatic resection and biliary reconstruction. Due to oncological principles of trying to achieve tumor-free margins during cholangiocarcinoma operation, surgeons often find multiple sectoral bile ducts above the hilar plate that need to be reconstructed. Creating multiple oligomilimeter hepaticojejunostomy anastomoses is not only technically very challenging but also associated with an increased risk for postoperative bile leak and subsequent anastomotic stricture mandating reinterventions.

Background: After surgery for congenital biliary dilatation (CBD), hilar and hepatic bile duct stenosis and intrapancreatic bile duct remnants can cause many postoperative complications. We investigated the efficacy of laparoscopic surgery with aggressive bile ductoplasty and complete excision of the intrapancreatic bile duct in CBD patients compared to open surgery.
Methods: Pediatric patients who underwent surgery for CBD at our institution between 2006 and 2020 were divided into two groups: laparoscopic surgery (Lap group) and open surgery (Op group).

Background: Extrahepatic bile duct duplication is an extremely rare congenital anomaly in which two common bile ducts exist. There are five different types of this anomaly and we present an unusual variant of duplication of an extrahepatic biliary system of type Va variety.
Case Presentation: This case report describes a 63-year-old women from rural Nepal who presented with type Va of duplicated extrahepatic bile duct, with chronic calculous cholecystitis and choledocholithiasis.

Background: Biliary reconstruction in ex vivo liver resection followed by autotransplantation (ERAT) for end-stage hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (HAE) remains the most challenging step, we present our experience with this complex procedure.
Methods: A retrospective data analysis of 55 patients with end-stage HAE underwent ERAT, the biliary reconstruction techniques and short- and long-term outcomes were discussed.
Results: All autografts were derived from the left lateral section after extensive ex vivo liver resection, multiple bile ducts were observed in 52 (94.
