Post-cholecystectomy bile duct injury treatment is always challenging for the surgeon. In order to perform endoscopic treatments, it is necessary to pass through the stricture site with a guide wire. The Rendezvous technique and single-operator cholangioscopy are used for this purpose. Magnetic compression anastomosis is a novel minimally invasive treatment for biliobiliary or bilioenteric anastomosis in a situation where the guide wire cannot be passed. However, there are only a few case reports regarding magnetic compression anastomosis usage in human, especially in biliary stricture after cholecystectomy. This case showed that the magnetic compression anastomosis is an alternative nonsurgical method for reconnecting the internal biliary pathway after a failed conventional method.
