I had my gallbladder out via emergency surgery and the next morning I was taken back into surgery for an ERCP and a stent was inserted. Was it necessary for me to have that taken out or would it just come out on its own? This was appx. 5 yrs ago.
5 years ago.. Wow. The stent shouldn't be left in for more than 3 months. Please see a doctor. I hope it has passed through your system and isn't stuck somewhere.. Please see a doctor about this. Contact the hospital that carried out the procedure. Get a medical layer and sue them for not removing the stent in a timely manner.
