Abstract
Biliary stenting for unresectable malignant biliary strictures is widely accepted and is routinely done as an effective palliation therapy. However, a consensus among experts is still far from being reached on the selection of stents, placement procedures etc. In 2012, the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy reported guidelines for biliary stenting. At the Endoscopic Forum Japan 2012, a consensus meeting was held to examine seven statements that had been prepared based on these guidelines.Herein, we report the contents and the results of the examination of three of these statements on biliary stenting for hilar strictures.
