Long-term observation of complex treatment of cicatricial stricture of the terminal section of the common bile duct

Corrosive stricture of the common bile duct complicated by obstructive jaundice, is a serious life-threatening disease. The stricture associated with chronic pancreatitis is diﬃcult to treat due to fibrosis, scarring of the bile duct wall in the distal region. Preference is given to minimally invasive methods of eliminating stricture to restore the bile outflow. The presented rare long-term clinical observation of the complex treatment of corrosive stricture of the common bile duct terminal section complicated by obstructive jaundice, purulent cholangitis, coagulopathy, hemobilia, demonstrates the complexity of managing such patients, the eﬀectiveness of the use of minimally invasive technologies.
