A 50-year-old male asked:

Is ERCP an effective procedure to remove a single 9 mm CBD stone? Will this procedure restore complete bile flow? The doc said I need no stent to be placed, just a normal ERCP will be enough to remove the stone. Just want to know will it be enough?

A 52-year-old male asked:

Will an endoscopist place a stent in the CBD even if a complete removal of the stone is achieved? The ERCP report didn't mention anything about stenting and even the endoscopist said my CBD is fully cleared which needs no follow-up. No stent then?
