ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) is a specialised procedure that combines a flexible camera scope with live X-ray imaging to examine and treat problems in the bile ducts and pancreatic duct. It is most commonly recommended when a gallstone has become stuck in the bile duct, when a narrowing or blockage is causing jaundice, when a bile leak needs to be sealed, or when tissue needs to be sampled from a suspected tumour. A thin, flexible scope is passed through the mouth, down through the stomach, and into the first part of the small intestine, where a catheter is threaded into the duct opening and contrast dye is injected for X-ray imaging. In most cases the doctor can treat the problem in the same session — removing stones, placing a stent to restore drainage, or widening a narrowed duct. The procedure is performed under deep sedation or general anaesthesia and typically takes 30 to 90 minutes; most patients are discharged the same day or after a single overnight stay.
ERCP performed to image the ducts, remove stones, perform sphincterotomy, or take biopsies — without leaving a stent in place.
