It wouldn’t be removed normally. Some of the stones from the gallbladder could have plugged in up. Normally, if the doctor suspects this, he’ll shoot dye through the duct to see if it comes out the other end. If something is in there, a few procedures exist to clean it out. Occasionally, people have been known to get a stone in the duct long after surgery. Normally, a doctor will scope the upper GI tract to remove the stone and fix the duct.
