Case series demonstrates effective endoscopic retrieval techniques for proximal pancreatic duct stent migration using individualized approaches.

This research aims to present effective endoscopic strategies for managing proximal pancreatic duct stent migration.
Case series of three patients with proximal pancreatic duct stent migration managed endoscopically.
Used SpyBite biopsy forceps, SpyGlass pancreatoscopy, and foreign body forceps based on individual anatomical variations.
Assessments included pancreatography and endoscopy to determine the location of the migrated stent.
Successful retrieval of migrated pancreatic duct stents in all three cases using tailored endoscopic approaches.
Case 1: Stent extracted from a stricture using SpyBite forceps post-dilation; Case 2: Stent retrieved with side hole grasping under visualization; Case 3: Stent extracted via minor papilla after dilation.

Cheng et al. (2026) studied this question.
