ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) combines endoscopy and X-ray to diagnose and treat problems in the bile and pancreatic ducts, such as stones, narrowing or blockages.

Time to plan in India: 4 to 5 days

Who needs it?

  • Stones in the bile duct

  • Jaundice from a blocked bile duct

  • Narrowing or tumours of the bile or pancreatic ducts

How it's done

  1. Sedation or general anaesthesia

  2. An endoscope is passed to the opening of the bile duct
