Benign biliary strictures treated with biodegradable stents in patients with surgically altered anatomy using double balloon enteroscopy.

The biodegradable stent, which can be passed through working channel of a long enteroscope, seems promising in the treatment of these strictures. The benefit is that no stent removal is needed.
