Biliary Stents – Applications and Benefits in Gastroenterology

Introduction to Biliary Stents

A biliary stent is a small, tube-like device used to open blocked bile ducts. It helps restore the normal flow of bile from the liver to the intestine. These stents are commonly used in procedures like ERCP to treat bile duct obstructions caused by stones, strictures, or tumors.

History of Biliary Stents in Medical Use

Biliary stents were first introduced in the 1970s as a palliative treatment for obstructive jaundice. Over the years, stent design has evolved from basic plastic models to advanced self-expandable metallic stents. Improvements in imaging and endoscopic techniques have enhanced their placement accuracy. Today, biliary stenting is a standard, minimally invasive treatment in gastroenterology and hepatobiliary practices.
