Endoscopic Stent Placement
Stent Placement – Relief from Obstruction
Endoscopic stent placement is a minimally invasive procedure used to open blocked or narrowed passages in the gastrointestinal tract or bile ducts, restoring normal flow and relieving symptoms.
When is Stent Placement Required?
This procedure is commonly performed for:
- Bile duct obstruction
- Esophageal strictures
- Malignant gastrointestinal blockage
- Pancreatic duct obstruction
- Post-surgical narrowing
How the Procedure is Performed
A flexible endoscope is used to guide the stent into the narrowed area. Once positioned, the stent expands to keep the passage open, allowing normal flow of food or bile.
