ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography)

Know Your Surgery

ERCP is a highly specialized technique that combines endoscopy with fluoroscopic imaging to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the bile ducts, pancreas, and gallbladder. By using a thin, flexible endoscope inserted through the mouth, doctors can access the bile and pancreatic ducts, enabling them to remove blockages, extract gallstones, insert stents, or collect tissue samples for further evaluation. This procedure is particularly beneficial for patients with jaundice, gallstone-related complications, bile duct strictures, and pancreatic diseases.
