Bile duct stones are typically removed using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), a minimally invasive procedure that combines x-ray and upper endoscopyâan exam of the upper gastrointestinal tract, consisting of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum (the first part of the small intestine)âusing an endoscope, which is a lighted, flexible tube, about the thickness of a finger.
If you are not able to have surgery to remove your cancer, you may have a tube put in to hold the bile duct open. This tube is called a stent. You don't usually need an operation to have a stent put in. A specialist doctor can put it in during an endoscopy or through the skin guided by X-ray.If you cannot have a stent, or it hasn't worked, you may have an operation to allow bile to drain by bypassing your blocked bile duct.To do this, your surgeon cuts the bile duct above the blockage and reconnects it to the small bowel. This operation is called a choledochojejunostomy.his is called a stent. You don't usually need an operation to have a stent put in. A specialist doctor can put it in during an endoscopy or through the skin guided by X-ray. If you cannot have a stent or it hasn't worked, you may have an operation to allow bile to drain by bypassing your blocked bile duct.
