What is Biliary Drainage and Stenting?

Biliary drainage and stenting are interventional procedures that relieve obstructions in the bile ducts, ensuring proper bile flow from the liver to the intestine. These procedures are crucial for managing conditions such as bile duct stones, tumours, and strictures, offering patients significant relief from jaundice and other complications.

How Does Biliary Drainage Work?

Biliary drainage involves inserting a catheter into the bile duct to facilitate bile flow, while stenting involves placing a small tube (stent) to keep the bile duct open. This approach is recommended when a blockage cannot be resolved through less invasive means.

Indications for Biliary Drainage and Stenting:

Obstruction due to bile duct stones
Tumors affecting bile duct function
Benign strictures

Procedure Overview

Preparation: Patients may receive sedation to ensure comfort during the procedure. Local anaesthesia is administered to minimise discomfort.
Catheter Insertion: The doctor uses X-ray or ultrasound guidance to insert a catheter through the skin or endoscopically through the mouth into the bile duct.
Biliary Drainage: The catheter drains bile from the obstructed area, relieving pressure and symptoms.
Stent Placement: If necessary, a stent is placed through the catheter to maintain bile duct patency and allow continuous bile flow.

Benefits of Biliary Drainage and Stenting

Immediate Symptom Relief: Reduces jaundice and associated discomfort.
Minimally Invasive: The procedure is typically performed as an outpatient, with less recovery time than traditional surgery.
Preserve Liver Function: Helps maintain liver health by ensuring proper bile flow.
