Response:

We thank Nicosia and colleagues1 for their comments on our article "Asia-Pacific consensus guidelines for endoscopic management of benign biliary strictures."2 In that article, we highlighted the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to the management of benign biliary strictures (BBSs), not only in the diagnosis but in the treatment as well.2 The selection of treatment approaches to BBSs depends on the clinical setting, the patient's condition and willingness, and the availability of expertise, which mandate a multidisciplinary discussion among different specialties aimed at providing a patient with the appropriate treatment and the most optimal outcome.
