Methods: This retrospective study included 34 patients (18 females and 16 males), with a mean age of 59.4 ± 13 years.

Background: Multiple and complicated hepatolithiasis can be associated with decompensated cirrhosis. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is unavailable for multiple and complicated hepatolithiasis, and the mainstay for decompensated cirrhosis is liver transplantation. However, due to the ethical factors and the complexity of operation, liver transplantation cannot be widely operated.

Recurrent cholangitis, intrahepatic stones and biliary and anastomotic strictures are common complications after Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. The surgically altered anatomy makes management of these complications with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography technically difficult. We present a case of recurrent cholangitis in a 25-year-old woman with a prior hepaticojejunostomy.

Purpose: In cases of perihilar focal liver lesions, distinguishing between benign strictures and malignancies is critical to prevent unnecessary surgery. Although the use of contrast-enhanced CT or MRI in combination with clinical and laboratory findings can aid in diagnosis, histologic examination is often necessary. Histologic specimens can be obtained through various techniques, including ERCP-guided brush cytology or intraductal biopsy, cholangioscopy-directed biopsy or endoscopic ultrasound (EUS).
