Stent Insertion (Endoscopic Stenting)

Know Your Surgery

Stent insertion is a minimally invasive procedure where a small, mesh-like tube (stent) is placed inside a narrow or blocked passage within the body. In gastroenterology, stents are often used to keep bile ducts, esophagus, or intestines open in cases where tumors, strictures, or other obstructions restrict the flow of digestive fluids or food. This procedure significantly improves quality of life for patients suffering from cancer-related blockages or post-surgical complications.
