Stent migration from the biliary tract can cause serious gastrointestinal complications. Early surgical intervention is crucial for migrated endoprostheses not amenable to endoscopic removal to prevent severe outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Interventions
  • Biliary Tract Interventions

Background:

  • Endoscopic or transhepatic endoprostheses are used for biliary tract obstruction.
  • Stent migration is a known late complication of these procedures.

Observation:

  • A retrospective review identified five patients requiring surgery for migrated biliary endoprostheses.
  • Complications included bowel perforation, interenteric fistula, biliocolic fistula, and small bowel distension.

Findings:

  • Surgical treatments varied, including local excision, segmental resection, and bypass.
  • Four patients recovered, but one patient died due to postoperative complications.

Implications:

  • Prompt surgical management is essential for migrated biliary stents lodged in the GI tract.
