What is ERCP?

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a specialized procedure that combines endoscopy and X-ray imaging to diagnose and treat disorders of the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. It involves using a flexible tube with a camera (endoscope) to access the digestive tract and inject contrast dye into the ducts, allowing for detailed imaging and therapeutic interventions.

Why is ERCP Performed?

ERCP is a crucial tool for:

Diagnosing and treating blockages or narrowing in the bile or pancreatic ducts.
Removing gallstones lodged in the bile ducts.
Managing bile leaks or injuries after gallbladder surgery.
Diagnosing and treating tumors or growths in the bile ducts, pancreas, or gallbladder.
Taking biopsies for further evaluation.

Conditions Diagnosed or Treated with ERCP

Gallstones: Identifying and removing stones blocking the bile or pancreatic ducts.
Cholangitis: Managing infections in the bile ducts.
Pancreatitis: Treating complications such as duct blockages or strictures.
Bile Duct Injuries: Repairing leaks or injuries caused by surgery.
Tumors or Cancers: Diagnosing and managing growths in the pancreas, bile ducts, or gallbladder.
Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis: Evaluating and managing scarring in the bile ducts.
