What does ERCP mean?
ERCP stands for Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography. It is a medical procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreas, and gallbladder. During the procedure, an endoscope is inserted through the mouth into the duodenum, and a contrast dye is injected to visualize the bile and pancreatic ducts using X-ray imaging. ERCP can help identify blockages, stones, or tumors and may also facilitate therapeutic interventions such as stone removal or stent placement.

What is an ercp medical procedure?
This one's a mouthful. An ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) is a procedure that introduces substances backwards through the bile and pancreatic ducts via a colonoscopy to determine if there are any blockages in these ducts. The substances are radio-opaque so help visualize gallstones or narrowing of ducts under X-ray.
