Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Interventional endoscopists who have performed numerous and various interventional endoscopic ultrasound procedures both locally and internationally, have trained overseas and attended courses on interventional endoscopic ultrasound will perform endoscopic ultrasound guided biliary drainage of benign biliary strictures by creating a fistula between the bile duct and stomach or duodenum using removable self expanding metal stents, face to face on patients with benign biliary strictures in a tertiary hospital. The average duration of the procedure is 40 minutes. Only one stent will be used for the study but if the stent to be placed becomes obstructed, then another stent will be placed. Blood samples will be taken to assess liver function on Day 2, week 2, month 1 then monthly unto 12 months post procedure.
