Duodenal Stent Placement

During a duodenal stent placement, a tiny tube referred to as a stent is placed to prop open an obstruction in the duodenum (first section of the small intestine) which may allow fluid and food to pass more easily and also to keep the duodenum from becoming obstructed again.
