What is Biliary Stenting?
Biliary stenting is a minimally invasive endoscopic intervention used to relieve obstructions in the bile duct system. The procedure involves placing a small stent (tube) to restore bile flow from the liver to the intestine. ItтАЩs commonly used to treat:
- Obstructive jaundice
- Gallstones in bile duct
- Pancreatic cancer bile duct issues
- Cholangiocarcinoma
- Hepatic duct blockage
Performed via ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography), the procedure helps lower bilirubin levels, reduce infection risk, and improve liver function.
