  1. Notes: Outcome of surgical repair was stratified into four grades as previously described by McDonald [14]: Grades A (asymptomatic, normal LFT), B (asymptomatic, mild LFT derangement), C (pain, cholangitis defined as fever with jaundice, and abnormal LFT), and D (surgical revision or dilatation required). Patients with grade A and B were classified as treatment successes, while patients with grade C and D were classified as failures.
