Open article record in new tab ↗Bile duct and anastomotic strictures and intrahepatic stones are common postoperative complications of congenital biliary dilatation (CBD). We performed double-balloon endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (DBERC) for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes after radical surgery. We focused on the effectiveness of DBERC for the treatment of postoperative complications of CBD patients. Bile duct and anastomotic strictu…
