Iatrogenic bile duct injuries (IBDI) are a devastating complication of cholecystectomy. Optimal management of the IBDI depends on several factors including type of injury and availability of equipment and expertise. Reconstructive hepaticojejunostomy is a well-established and commonly performed procedure for IBDI s. However, endoscopic serial multiple stent dilation of IBDI strictures has gained popularity in the recent era. In our case series we have adopted a protocol based placement of multiple plastic stents for E2, E3 IBDI strictures with a high success rate.
