What is ERCP?

ERCP is an advanced endoscopic procedure used to diagnose and treat problems of the bile ducts, gallbladder, liver, and pancreas. It combines endoscopy and X-ray imaging to identify blockages, stones, strictures, infections, or tumors in the biliary and pancreatic ducts.

ERCP is not just diagnostic—it is a treatment procedure, often avoiding the need for major surgery.

When is ERCP Needed?

Your doctor may recommend an ERCP for:

Gallstones trapped in the bile duct
Jaundice (yellowing of eyes/skin)
Blockage of bile or pancreatic ducts
Bile duct infections (cholangitis)
Pancreatitis due to stones
Biliary or pancreatic duct strictures
Bile leaks after surgery
Suspected tumors of pancreas or bile duct
Unexplained upper abdominal pain with abnormal liver tests

How is the ERCP Procedure Done?

You will be asked to fast for 6–8 hours before the procedure.
You will receive sedation or anesthesia for comfort.
A flexible endoscope is passed through the mouth into the stomach and duodenum.
A special dye is injected into the bile or pancreatic ducts.
X-ray imaging helps identify blockages or stones.
Stent placement to open narrowed ducts
The procedure usually takes 30–60 minutes depending on the treatment needed.

Benefits of ERCP

Removes gallstones without open surgery
Relieves bile duct obstruction
Improves jaundice quickly
Treats life-threatening infections like cholangitis
Helps manage pancreatitis caused by duct blockage

Is ERCP Safe?

Yes. ERCP is a commonly performed and highly effective procedure when done by an experienced Gastroenterologist. Rarely, side effects such as pancreatitis, bleeding, or infection may occur, but proper expertise greatly minimizes risks.
