A member asked:
Is a common bile duct stenosis the same as common bile duct stricture? does stenosis actually mean it's a narrowing of the bile duct?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
"Stenosis" and "stricture" are synonymous terms, and if elevated bilirubin testing is present, a common duct stent may be necessary. See a GI physician for guidance.
