For two long years, a 73-year-old man unknowingly carried a life-threatening object inside his body—a stent that he had forgotten to get removed after a medical procedure. What was supposed to drain bile and treat issues in the pancreatic ducts became a source of severe health complications for him.

Stones developed in the bile duct of the man due to his failure to get it removed non-surgically through endoscopy on time. However, Doctors at Mhaske Hospital in Pune successfully removed the stent and the stones through laparoscopic surgery.
