Core Tip	Benign biliary strictures (BBSs) are commonly encountered by advanced endoscopists. As our under-standing of longstanding techniques involving biliary dilation and plastic stent placement evolves, newer therapeutic options such as self-expandable metal stents and endoscopic ultrasound have become available. Here we review the literature pertaining to the most common etiologies of BBSs with current considerations for their respective endoscopic manage-ment.
