A member asked:
Will a doctor place a stent in the cbd even if there is a complete removal of the stone? or is a stent only placed if the doctor cannot clear the blockage completely?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A stent is likely, but this is usually a case-by-case decision, maybe not made until the procedure is underway. Discuss with the doctor ahead of time.
