ERCP
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a procedure carried out by a
Gastroenterologist
to diagnose and treat problems in the
liver
,
gallbladder
,
bile ducts
and
pancreas
. These include gallstones, scars tissue, leaks from injury and surgery, and
cancer
. The inside of the stomach and duodenum is viewed through an
endoscope
and dye is injected into the bile ducts and pancreas so they can be seen on an
X-ray
. If the exam shows a gallstone or narrowing of the ducts, instruments can be inserted into the endoscope to remove or relieve the obstruction with a
stent
. Also,
tissue samples
(biopsy) can be taken for further testing.
