Presentation
We present herein a case where a benign bile duct stricture developed 16 years after an open cholecystectomy and without any prior symptoms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Patients with bile duct injury after a laparoscopic cholecystectomy can present with the injury soon after the cholecystectomy or many weeks to months after the injury Patients who present early usually present with leakage of bile into the abdominal [hpbsurgery.com.au]

- Splenomegaly
This patient has cirrhosis with splenomegaly due to portal hypertension. Extrahepatic duct dilatation is present in 53% of cases, secondary to cholangitis and stone or sludge passage. [radiologyassistant.nl]

- Chills
Clinical findings Jaundice, fever, chills, abdominal pain. Aetiology Prior local surgery, pancreatitis, trauma, gallstones. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
When this happens, bile can back up into the liver, causing abdominal pain, nausea, itching, fever, chills, and jaundice. Strictures can be caused during surgery on nearby tissues, such as the gallbladder. [emoryhealthcare.org]

- Ascites
Diagnostic laparoscopy showed eosinophilic ascites and necrotic nodules on the posterior abdominal wall. She was treated with anthelminthics on presumption of toxacara infection based on borderline positivity of serological tests. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Ascites or pleural effusion if present disappears after surgery. [jmidlifehealth.org]

Hernias, volvulus, and intussusception carry a higher gangrene risk. In a newborn, paralytic ileus that destroys the bowel wall (necrotizing enterocolitis) is a life-threatening condition. It may lead to blood and lung infections. [mclarenhealthplan.org]

The patient initially enjoyed good symptomatic relief post stenting but presented two months later with recurrent jaundice. Investigation confirmed duct dilatation and stent blockage. [ispub.com]
- Scleral Icterus

Workup
A biliary drain can also be used to take bile samples for diagnostic workup or disease monitoring, as well as providing a route of administration for medical substances. [en.wikipedia.org]
The cyst was followed up by sonography which was not decreasing in size so planned for further workup and surgery. Her menstrual cycles were regular with the normal flow with no dysmenorrhea. [jmidlifehealth.org]
Initial laboratory workup showed a normal CBC as well as basic blood chemistry, liver function tests, serum electrolytes, and urinalysis. Thyroid function tests revealed a TSH of <0.01 mIU/mL and a free T4 of 2.6 ng/dL. [hindawi.com]

This differentiation often poses a significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenge and extensive investigative workup may be required. [fg.bmj.com]
Treatment
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Endoscopic treatment for postoperative benign bile duct stricture (BBS) is a therapeutic challenge. No previous studies have compared endoscopic treatments for BBS and malignant bile duct stricture (MBS). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
AIM: To compare the outcome of endoscopic therapy for postoperative benign bile duct stricture and benign bile duct stricture due to chronic pancreatitis, including long-term prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Associated findings Associated findings are for example: features of chronic pancreatitis evidence of previous cholecystectomy lymph node enlargement infiltrating mass Treatment and prognosis Treatment and prognosis clearly depend on the underlying etiology [radiopaedia.org]
Outlook (Prognosis) Treatment is successful most of the time. Long-term success depends on the cause of the stricture. Possible Complications Inflammation and narrowing of the biliary duct may return in some people. [mountsinai.org]
Etiology
Etiology There are numerous causes of biliary duct strictures, including 1,2 : malignant cholangiocarcinoma involvement by pancreatic head adenocarcinoma involvement by ampulla of Vater adenocarcinoma involvement by gallbladder carcinoma 4 benign iatrogenic [radiopaedia.org]
Hilar bile duct stricture should be treated surgically according to various etiological features and technical principles of biliary repair. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Management Endoscopic surgery with insertion of self-expanding metal mesh stents. bile duct stricture Biliary stricture Surgery An abnormal narrowing of the common bile duct, due to local scarring, which may cause biliary obstruction Etiology Prior local [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
The most challenging biliary strictures are the indeterminate strictures, which are defined as biliary strictures with unknown etiology following cross-sectional imaging and tissue sampling. [acgcasereports.gi.org]
The main etiology of bile duct strictures closely related to the liver is a malignancy (cancer). However, the differentiation of benign and malignant strictures is notoriously difficult. [sciencedaily.com]
