What is ERCP?
ERCP is a minimally invasive procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy (real-time X-ray) to examine and treat problems in the bile and pancreatic ducts. It is commonly used to diagnose and manage conditions such as:
- Gallstones – Stones that obstruct the bile ducts, causing pain, infection, or jaundice.
- Pancreatitis – Inflammation of the pancreas, often due to blocked ducts.
- Bile Duct Strictures – Narrowing or scarring of bile ducts, which can lead to digestive issues.
- Cholangiocarcinoma – Cancer of the bile ducts.
- Biliary Obstruction – Blockage in the bile ducts, causing symptoms like jaundice or abdominal pain.
- Pancreatic Duct Obstruction – Blockage in the duct that may affect pancreatic function.
