A modified technique for the treatment of biliary tract structures is presented. It features the longitudinal incision of the biliary duct above the stricture without any lateral or posterior duct dissection. The duct and the jejunum are brought together and a continuous posterior row of sutures is applied. Separated stitches are used for the anterior suture. No internal splints are used. Four patients have been operated upon with good results during a follow-up period of two years.
