Objective  To evaluate the linkage between the proxmal as well as long term outcome and choice of therapeutical modality for benign hilar stricture of bile duct prospectively.
Methods  25 patients have been catergorized into 4 groups according to different pathogen and the proxmal as well as long term outcome after pathogen based management have been studied prospectively.
Results  The hepatic portal cholangio-jejunostomy applied for iatrogenic hilar stricture of bile duct has been proved to be effective and the incidence of refulux cholangitis is only 10%(1/10). Hepatic hilar plasty procedures keep the physiological entitity of bile duct and the vital, sufficient autologous repair materials as well as reliable operation design are needed. Resection of atrophic right liver lobe bearing hepatolithiasis combined hepatic hilar plasty has reached both elimination of liver focus and maintaining the physiological entitity of bile duct. The ballon dilation for mild ring-like hilar stricture of bile duct is valide but not for hilar tubular stricture of secondary sclerosing cholangitis.
Conclusion  The strategy of individualized management (pathogen based management) for benign hilar stricture of bile duct has proved to be reliable and effective.
