ERCP

Advanced ERCP Treatment in Kanpur – Digestive Care Clinic

Advanced Diagnosis & Treatment for Biliary & Pancreatic Conditions.

At Digestive Care Clinic in Kanpur, our expert gastroenterologists offer ERCP, a minimally invasive and highly effective procedure that combines endoscopy and real-time X‑ray imaging (fluoroscopy) to diagnose and treat disorders of the bile ducts, gallbladder, liver, and pancreas.

What Is ERCP?

• A flexible endoscope is passed through the patient’s mouth into the duodenum to access the ampulla of Vater.

• A contrast dye is injected into bile and pancreatic ducts, enabling visualization via fluoroscopy.

• This allows for both diagnosis and intervention—such as stone removal, stenting, sphincterotomy, and stricture dilation

Who Needs ERCP?

ERCP is ideal when non-invasive tests (like ultrasound or MRCP) are inconclusive and there’s a need to:

• Remove gallstones or sludge from the common bile duct

• Relieve biliary or pancreatic duct strictures

• Investigate and treat bile leaks or ductal injuries

• Drain obstructed ducts via stenting

• Treat cholangitis (bile duct infections)

Procedure Highlights

1. Pre-procedure Assessment: Includes a full clinical and imaging work-up (blood tests, ultrasound, MRCP if needed).

2. Safe Sedation Monitoring: Conscious sedation or anesthesia administered by trained staff.

3. Real-Time Intervention: Removal of stones, stent placement, duct dilation, or sphincterotomy—all under live imaging.

4. Post-care & Follow-up: Monitoring for complications, discharge planning, and long‑term management.

Safety & Potential Risks

While ERCP is generally safe, possible complications include:

• Post‑ERCP pancreatitis (3–5%), bleeding, perforation, infection, allergic reactions to contrast dye en.wikipedia.org

• We use international safety protocols—including prophylactic antibiotics and pancreatic stents—to minimize risks.
