    Frequently Asked Any Questions

    ERCP, short for Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography, is a specialized procedure that doctors use to both diagnose and treat conditions that affect the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. Physicians perform this procedure to investigate symptoms such as abdominal pain, jaundice, or pancreatitis, and to address issues like bile duct stones, strictures, or tumors.

    ERCP is typically performed under sedation or general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort and minimize discomfort. While some patients may experience mild discomfort, particularly after the procedure, pain during ERCP is generally well managed with sedatives and pain medication.

    While ERCP is generally safe, it carries some risks, including pancreatitis, infections, bleeding, and perforation of the ducts or duodenum. The risk of complications varies depending on factors such as the patient's medical history, the complexity of the procedure, and the experience of the healthcare team.

    Preparation for ERCP typically involves fasting for several hours before the procedure to ensure the stomach and duodenum are empty. Patients may also need to adjust their medications, particularly blood thinners, and arrange for transportation home after the procedure, as sedation is often used.

    After ERCP, patients are monitored in a recovery area until the effects of sedation wear off. They may experience mild discomfort, bloating, or sore throat, which usually resolves within a day. Patients are advised to rest, follow any dietary instructions provided by their healthcare provider, and watch for signs of complications such as severe abdominal pain, fever, or bleeding. Follow-up appointments may be scheduled to monitor recovery and address any concerns.
