ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography)
At Vedanta Superspeciality Center, we specialize in performing ERCP—a highly advanced endoscopic procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the bile ducts, gallbladder, liver, and pancreas. This technique combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to provide real-time imaging and therapeutic access to the biliary and pancreatic ducts.
ERCP is a critical tool in managing obstructive jaundice, gallstones, strictures, and tumors in the biliary or pancreatic pathways. Our experienced gastroenterologists use precision-guided instruments to perform both diagnostic evaluations and therapeutic interventions with minimal discomfort to the patient.
What Conditions Can ERCP Treat?
- Blocked bile or pancreatic ducts due to stones or strictures
- Gallstones that have migrated to the bile ducts
- Pancreatic duct issues, including leaks or inflammation
- Biliary or pancreatic tumors and cancer-related obstructions
- Infections or complications following gallbladder surgery
- Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction
What Happens During an ERCP?
ERCP is performed under sedation. A flexible endoscope is guided through the mouth into the duodenum. Contrast dye is injected into the bile and pancreatic ducts, and X-rays are taken to identify any abnormalities. Therapeutic actions such as stone removal, stent placement, or duct dilation can be done in the same session.
