A sphincteroplasty is when the surgeon open your intestine at the

duodenum and SO unite. The sphincter is then surgically attached to

the inner lumen of the duodenum; scar tissue is removed the

sphincter is made larger as it is pulled through the intestinal wall

and sutured to it. Muscle from the lumen of the intestine is made

to replace the wall of the sphincter. A stent is placed and will

remain in place until removed 6 weeks later with an EGD.

I hope this helps and I am sorry but I missed your question earlier;

I am still on a lot of pain meds.

Warmly
