In two patients, the value of percutaneous transhepatic decompression in the management of benign biliary strictures is illustrated. The procedure can help provide relief of jaundice, control of infection and improvement of nutritional status. Results of previous experience indicate that these factors play a major role in determining the over-all success rate in the surgical management of these patients.
