ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) | AIG Hospitals

ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) is a medical procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the bile ducts and pancreas.

ERCP is primarily used to detect and treat:
· CBD Stones (Common Bile Duct Stones)
· Pancreatic Stones
· Infection of the bile ducts
· Injury/fluid leakage of the bile ducts
· Blockages in the bile ducts and pancreas

How Does ERCP Work?
1. A flexible tube (endoscope) is inserted through the mouth, down the throat, and into the bile ducts and pancreas.
2. A special contrast dye is then injected through the endoscope into the bile ducts and pancreas.
3. This dye helps to highlight the bile ducts, pancreas, and any blockages or stones on X-ray images.
4. The doctor uses the endoscope to view blockages or stones.
5. Stones can be removed, or blockages treated with specialized tools.

Post-Procedure Care
· Most patients can return home the same day.
· Mild discomfort or bloating is normal.
· Follow your doctor's advice for a smooth recovery.
