What is ERCP?
ERCP combines the use of X-rays and an endoscope — a long, flexible, lighted tube passed through the mouth — to examine and treat the bile ducts and pancreatic duct. Because it can both diagnose and treat, it is often called a therapeutic endoscopy procedure.
Common biliary and pancreatic contexts
ERCP may be used in the management of certain bile-duct and pancreatic conditions — for example, in the context of bile duct stones or blockages, or where a stent or tissue sampling is needed. Whether ERCP is appropriate depends on each patient's condition, tests and clinical assessment.
Therapeutic ERCP
Beyond imaging, therapeutic ERCP can include interventions such as removing certain stones from the bile duct or placing stents to relieve blockages. The exact intervention depends on the findings during the procedure and the patient's condition.
