Bile duct stricture is an uncommon but challenging clinical condition that requires a multidisciplinary approach for management. The diagnosis of biliary stricture is often missed or delayed because of its indolent course, with up to 20% of patients presenting with subtle clinical manifestations 1 year after the initial injury. Up to 30% of patients with non-malignant strictures may have a protracted, complicated course necessitating intensive multidisciplinary management with its attendant significant health care costs.
