Hi, This seems like there were stones both on common bile duct and as well in gall bladder. So the doctor has done correct treatment. Once the infection in biliary channel subsides then this stent can be removed.Along with a ERCP and balloon sweep required as few may residual stone should be removed. Don't worry he is in correct line of management.
