Core Tip

Core Tip: In cases of severe biliary stenosis or occlusion, performing endoscopic balloon dilation or biliary stent implantation via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is sometimes not possible. There are some research reports on the use of magnetic compression anastomosis (MCA) to treat biliary stricture or occlusion. However, the use of MCA in the treatment of complex biliary obstruction after abdominal trauma has not been reported. This study reports the successful treatment of a patient with complex biliary obstruction after abdominal trauma with MCA.
