Objective To study the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of biliary complications after liver transplantation. Methods One hundred and twenty-three recipients who had received liver transplantation between April 1993 and November 2001 were retrospectively reviewed. Results Biliary complication was diagnosed cholangiographyically in 11 patients. Nine patients were cured, 1 patient was unproved and 1 patient died. The incidence for biliary complications was 8.9% (11/123),and the mortality was 0.8% (1/123). The incidence of biliary complicatins due to T tube was 4.2% (5/ 119). The incidence of biliary complications due to hepatic artery was 1. 6% (2/123). In recipients with WIT3 min and CIT8 h, the incidence of biliary complications elevated significantly. Conclusion The most important reason for biliary complications was preservative and ischemic injury. While repairing donor liver, damage to the blood supply system of donor liver bile ducts should be avoided. Meticulous T tube placement may reduce
