Guest guest Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 Anita, your duct may have been too small to fit the stent in. I know that was why they didn't put a stent in me either. They tried, they just couldn't get it in. I hope you get a definite answer from your surgeon. Kimber -- Kimber Vallejo, CA hominid2@...

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 Thanks Kimber! I definitely will ask him that specific question. I never even thought of that one! Considering they could hardly find my duct, that is a distinct possibility. Take care - Anita Anita Anita, your duct may have been too small to fit the stent in.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2003 Report Share Posted July 6, 2003 Mark and Anita, the university of Indiana has some good research material on sphincteroplasty it should be on their website.. I am one of the research cases that they did regarding this being that Dr.Stuart Shermann did and ERCP with spinometry and sphinteroplasty... so my case all though three years old should be in their research along with other material on this... Karyn may have an a website address for Dr.Shermann and His Partner Dr.Leihmann?? if they do not have a website I can call Dr.Sherman Directly and get him to send me the info since I am still considered one of his patients and then post it to the board.. Mark Keep me posted on what you find... Greater New Orleans Area Rep... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
