ABSTRACT
Biliary stent insertion was done in 25 patients. Eighteen were successful, 14 by endoscopic method and 4 by combined endoscopic percutaneous method. Twelve with malignant diseases and 4 with benign diseases had satisfactory drainage. Failed stent insertion occurred in 7 cases. Stent malfunction was found in 30 per cent and occlusion was the most common problem. Complications occurred in 32 per cent and most were mild. The 4 per cent mortality of the procedure is acceptable. Biliary stent should be considered as an alternative or as an adjunctive treatment to surgery.
