Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy stricture develops in 8 % to 40 % of patients, and reintervention is frequently required [1] [2]. Surgery remains the gold standard to treat this problem. We present the case of a 67-year-old man with recurrent cholangitis due to benign stricture of a bilioenteric anastomosis. The patient had a history of sclerosing cholangitis and left hepatectomy with Roux-en-Y bilioenteric reconstruction.
