If your endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatogram (ERCP) was only a test, and no stents were placed, you should be able to fly within 24 hours. If a stent was placed, you should wait 2-3 days before travelling via air.

How long does it take for pancreatitis symptoms after an ercp to show?

They tend to be immediate or occur within the first couple of hours. A year ago I had an ERCP to remove a gall stone that was trapped in my bile duct. Upon waking up from the anesthesia, I noticed a strong aching pain in my upper abdomen that wasn't there prior to the procedure. Over the next couple of hours, it proceeded to get worse. I was admitted to the hospital again 12 hours later with pancreatitis. The information gathered to provide this answer was not solely based on the previous story of personal experience.


Kaye, gallstones are?

Kaye, gallstones are common (about 20% of women in developed countries). There are several types of gallstones, the most frequent being cholesterol gallstones. These can occur due to an imbalance of cholesterol and the agents that are responsible for dissolving cholesterol, both secreted by the liver. If there's too much cholesterol or too little of the dissolving agents, stones can form. Anything that causes stones to more rapidly form, like decreased function of the gallbladder or even an individual's tendency to form stones, will lead to gallstones. Less common types of gallstones stem from too much bilirubin (the breakdown product of blood) or some intestinal diseases. Gallstones are more common as we age and in females, and also with hormone therapy. Despite the role of cholesterol in forming most gallstones, there's no relationship between stone formation and cholesterol in the blood. The majority of people with gallstones, fortunately, don't have symptoms. So as long as the gallstones don't cause problems, there's nothing to worry about and nothing that needs to be done.

What is an mrcp screening?

Well, MRCP stands for, get ready for this, Magnetic resonance Cholangiopancreatography Despite the fact that it's name is unequivocally long, it's a pretty simple test in concept. It's designed to detect gallstones in the biliary and pancreatic ducts surrounding the gallbladder. The key words are Magnetic Resonance. You've heard of an MRI, well, MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imagine. Magnetic Resonance scans are good because they're non invasive. Basically that means they don't have to make the patient feel uncomfortable. These MRCP tests are often used, as opposed to ERCP tests (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography tests) for the sole reason that they're non invasive. With an ERCP test, they have to shove an endoscope down the esophagus, all the way to the biliary and pancreatic ducts. That's considered invasive. With MRCP tests, it's all digital images, hence noninvasive.

Is there another way to remove gallstones without surgery?

there are 2 treatments of gallstones the first one is that the doctors can make four insisions on ur stomach and pull out the gallbladder after cutting it and doing that other junk, the second treatment is that the doctors can make a larger insisoin and do the same thing. the reason that there are two ways of treating is that the size of ur gallbladder.The best way to prevent gallstones is to minimize risk factors. In addition, a 1998 study suggests that vigorous exercise may lower a man's risk of developing gallstones by as much as 28%. The
