A stent put in my cbd was supposed to be removed today but today the stent was missing. doc said it may have slipped and come out.hope its safe. scary?

It's safe : The stent likely went down through the bile ducts into the small intestine(duodenum ) and flushed out along with your stools in the colon. Don't worry, be happy!

Migration: About 8-10% of common bile duct stents migrate away from original placement into bowel..43% are evacuated from bowel normally. Rare percentage perforate the intestines because of obstruction and may cause bowel penetration is usually related to obstruction and can result in fistula , and abscess formation.Your physician should follow you closely for any complications if not normally evacuated.
