Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)
About the procedure
ERCP is a specialised endoscopic procedure that combines upper endoscopy and X-ray imaging to diagnose and treat problems in the bile ducts and pancreatic ducts. It is primarily used to remove gallstones from the bile duct, treat strictures (narrowing) in the ducts, place stents to relieve blockages, and obtain biopsies of suspected tumours. ERCP is particularly valuable for conditions like choledocholithiasis (bile duct stones), pancreatitis, and biliary strictures.
