What is ERCP?
An endoscopic procedure that clears bile-duct stones, relieves blocked bile ducts and places stents — avoiding open surgery for many biliary problems.
ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) combines endoscopy with X-ray imaging to access the bile and pancreatic ducts through the natural opening in the duodenum. Today it is primarily a treatment procedure, allowing duct problems to be fixed without surgery.
