- Pancreatic Conditions: It aids in diagnosing pancreatic disorders, including pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, and pancreatic duct obstruction.
- Gallbladder Disease: ERCP is effective in diagnosing and treating problems related to the gallbladder, such as stones or bile duct blockages.
Who Needs It:
- Patients with Jaundice: Individuals experiencing unexplained yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice) may require ERCP to identify underlying causes, such as bile duct obstruction.
- Chronic Pancreatitis or Pancreatic Cancer: Patients with a history of recurrent pancreatitis or symptoms suggestive of pancreatic cancer, like abdominal pain and weight loss, may need ERCP for diagnosis and treatment.
- Gallstones or Gallbladder Disease: If gallstones are suspected, especially when causing symptoms like severe abdominal pain or fever, ERCP can help locate and remove them.
- Biliary or Pancreatic Infections: ERCP can be used to treat infections caused by bile duct or pancreatic duct blockages by enabling drainage.
Benefits of ERCP:
- Accurate Diagnosis: ERCP allows for precise imaging of the bile and pancreatic ducts, providing essential information for diagnosing complex gastrointestinal issues.
- Simultaneous Treatment: In addition to diagnosis, ERCP can be used to perform treatments such as removing stones, placing stents, or treating strictures, often reducing the need for surgery.
- Non-invasive with Therapeutic Options: While ERCP requires sedation, it is minimally invasive and can effectively address a range of conditions without the need for open surgery.
- Comprehensive Approach: ERCP provides a thorough evaluation of both biliary and pancreatic systems, offering a comprehensive view of any underlying issues.
