Abstract
Benign biliary strictures (BBS) can be caused by a variety of pathological mechanisms and are characterized by a reduction in the normal caliber of the biliary lumen at single or multiple points along the extrahepatic or intrahepatic bile ducts, resulting in an impaired bile flow from the liver into the digestive tract.
