  • Analysis of practical aspects including stent placement and removal techniques.
  • Examination of reported complications and strategies for prevention.

Main Results:

  • The Endocoil stent demonstrates feasibility for use in benign biliary obstruction.
  • Detailed procedural information on insertion and retrieval is provided.
  • Complication rates and avoidance strategies are discussed.

Conclusions:

  • The Endocoil stent is a viable option for managing benign biliary obstruction.
  • Careful attention to insertion and retrieval techniques can minimize complications.
  • Further research and standardized protocols are recommended for optimal Endocoil application.
