Core Tip	This study evaluates the impact of various factors on development of biliary complications (BC) after liver transplantation (LT). Biliary reconstruction technique and ischemic times, as well as other donor- and recipient- factors did not influence appearance of BC. However, length of donor-intensive care unit-stay over 6 d did. Furthermore we are the first to describe a comprehensive classification of anastomotic strictures after LT according to clinical relevance.
