Core Tip	Biliary biodegradable stents are primarily used to treat benign and malignant conditions such as biliary strictures and bile duct injuries. We discuss a patient with postoperative biliary stricture who achieved significant symptom relief through treatment with a biodegradable stent. This report suggests that biodegradable stents may represent a promising new option worthy of further investigation.
