Abstract    Surgery remains the mainstay of treatment for bile duct injury and traumatic bile duct stricture. The definitive repair involves a series of procedures including exposing the proximal bile duct above impaired site, trimming bile duct wall and biliary reshaping，various anastomosis and so on. Surgeon should identify all the information related injury prior to making any definitive repair. The rational treatment strategy including the timing of repair and surgical methods should be formulated according to the injury type. Surgical procedure must follow the fundamental principle of “Anastomosis and reconstruction must build upon healthy, non-ischemic, non-inflammation and non-scarred bile duct”. Successful management is a surgical challenge requiring great specialized experience and precise surgical skill.
