Advanced ERCP Procedures
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a specialized endoscopic technique used to diagnose and treat disorders of the bile ducts, gallbladder, pancreas, and liver. At Dynamic Super-Speciality Liver and Gastro Centre, Patna, we offer advanced ERCP procedures to provide minimally invasive treatments for complex gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary conditions.
ERCP combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy (X-ray imaging) to visualize the biliary and pancreatic ducts, allowing for precise diagnosis and targeted treatment. This technique is particularly beneficial for patients with biliary obstruction, pancreatic disorders, gallstones, and post-surgical complications.
One of the key applications of advanced ERCP is common bile duct (CBD) stone removal. Gallstones or bile duct stones can lead to pain, jaundice, and infections. Through ERCP, these stones can be extracted using special instruments, eliminating the need for open surgery. CBD stenting is another critical procedure performed using ERCP, where a stent is placed to keep the bile duct open, ensuring proper bile flow in cases of strictures or blockages due to tumors or chronic inflammation.
For patients suffering from chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic duct obstructions, or post-surgical complications, pancreatic duct stenting via ERCP helps restore normal pancreatic drainage, reducing pain and improving digestion. This procedure is often used in cases where pancreatic ducts are narrowed due to inflammation or scarring.
In addition, ERCP-guided sphincterotomy is performed to cut the muscle (sphincter) around the bile or pancreatic duct opening, allowing for the smooth passage of bile and pancreatic fluids. This is particularly useful in cases of sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (SOD) and bile duct strictures.
Patients with biliary leaks after gallbladder surgery (cholecystectomy) can also benefit from ERCP, where stents or clips are placed to seal the leak and promote healing. Additionally, in cases of malignant biliary obstruction due to cancers of the pancreas or bile duct, metal or plastic stents can be inserted to maintain bile flow and alleviate jaundice symptoms.
