Core Tip	Biliary complications are being increasingly encountered in post liver transplant patients because of increased volume of transplants and longer survival of these recipients. Overall management of these complications may be challenging, but with advances in endoscopic techniques, majority of such patients are being dealt with by endoscopists rather than the surgeons. Our review article discusses the recent advan-ces in endoscopic tools and techniques which have proved ERCP with various interventions, like sphin-cterotomy, bile duct dilatation, and stent placement, to be the mainstay for management of most of these complications. We also deliberate the management dilemmas in patients with surgically altered anatomy, where accessing the bile duct is challenging, and the recent strides towards making this prospect a reality.
