Question 1

Had an ercp stent place in cbd before gallbladder removal, it's been 6 months and stent not yet removed, should i be worried ?

Accepted Answer

It is not unusual to have a stent placed prior to gallbladder removal if there is a stone in the duct. Usually this stent is removed a few weeks later. If you are not having any symptoms such as pain, then there is no reason to worry, but you need to see your doctor about getting it removed.

Question 2

I had my gallbladder removed in january and after that had a bile leak and a stent put in and removed and have had constant pain everyday.

Accepted Answer

I'm sorry you had a post op bile leak - that's a known risk of about .3-.5 percent. The bile is caustic, and can certainly be irritating. After the stent placement, and the leak has been sealed, the discomfort should resolve. If you are still having discomfort, follow up with your surgeon. Good luck.

Question 3

Can i go to the beach with a bile duct stent? i had my gallbladder removed, a stone removed from my duct and a stent put into my bile duct 2 1/2 weeks

Accepted Answer

This is an important question that your treating doctors should answer. You not only want to know about going in the ocean but also whether exertion from swimming and other vigorous activities are permissible.

Question 4

I got a stent install in biliary canal after gallbladder removal , i want to be asleep for my ercp to remove it but it can take up 60 days..dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Don't worry. While any procedure can have complications, this one is low risk (not zero...). I would be more worried about the reason the stent is there, and whether or not a stricture (narrowing from scar) will develop afterwards. You may want to ask that. I'm sure they will give you adequate sedation for the procedure. Hope this helps!
