About this Procedure
ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) is a procedure that combines endoscopy and X-rays to examine and treat the bile ducts and pancreatic duct. MedlinePlus explains that a flexible endoscope is passed through the mouth, oesophagus and stomach into the first part of the small intestine (duodenum). A thin tube is then passed into the ducts, and a contrast dye is injected so they show up on X-ray images.
ERCP is used mainly to diagnose and treat problems of the pancreas or bile ducts that cause abdominal pain or yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice). Through the endoscope, doctors can remove or crush gallstones stuck in the ducts, widen narrowed ducts (strictures), place stents, drain blocked areas and take tissue samples to check for tumours. Imaging such as ultrasound, CT or MRI is usually done first to find the cause of symptoms.
ERCP is not surgery in the traditional sense, as no cuts are made in the skin. Cleveland Clinic explains that it is usually an outpatient procedure done under sedation or anaesthesia given through a drip, taking about one to two hours, and you go home the same day after the sedation wears off. A sore throat, bloating and mild discomfort for a day or two are common.
