What kind of dye is used for Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography?
A contrast dye called iodine-based contrast material is typically used for Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). This dye is injected into the bile ducts and pancreatic duct during the procedure to help visualize these structures on X-ray imaging.
What purposes besides diagnosis may endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography serve?
Special instruments can be inserted into the endoscope to remove gallstones, take samples of tissue for further examination (e.g., in the case of suspected cancer),
What preparation for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography does a patient undergo?
Before undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), patients typically need to fast for a certain period of time to ensure the stomach and duodenum are empty. They might also need to stop taking certain medications that could increase the risk of bleeding during the procedure. Additionally, patients may receive sedation or anesthesia to make them more comfortable during the procedure.
What procedure is involved in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography?
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) involves inserting an endoscope through the mouth, down the esophagus, into the stomach, and then into the duodenum. From there, a catheter is used to inject contrast dye into the bile and pancreatic ducts, and X-ray images are taken to diagnose and treat conditions such as gallstones, blockages, or tumors. Therapeutic interventions such as stone removal or stent placement can also be performed during the procedure.
What is choledochoscope used for?
A choledochoscope is a specially designed endoscope used to visualize and navigate the bile ducts. It is mainly used during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures to diagnose and treat conditions such as gallstones, strictures, or tumors in the bile ducts. The choledochoscope allows for direct visualization and precise intervention in the biliary system.
What does the medical abbreviation ERCP mean?

What are the 5 types of cholecystography?

What tests are performed on a patient prior to considering a pancreatectomy?
These can include ultrasonography, x ray examinations, computed tomography scans (CT scan), and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
What is the medical term meaning procedure in which contrast medium is injected via catheter through the mouth to bile ducts and x-ray images are produced?
The medical term for the procedure you described is endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). It is used to diagnose and treat conditions in the bile ducts and pancreas by visualizing them through x-ray imaging after injecting a contrast medium through a catheter inserted via the mouth.
What are the types of cholecystography?
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography, Oral cholecystography, gallbladder series or X-ray
Under what circumstances may a doctor recommend endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography?
if a patient is experiencing abdominal pain of unknown origin, weight loss, or jaundice. These may be symptoms of biliary disease.
What risks are associated with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography?
pancreatitis, cholangitis (inflammation of the bile ducts), cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder), injury to the duodenum, pain, bleeding, infection, and formation of blood clots.
Inflammation of the pancreas due to a splenectomy?
Inflammation of the pancreas is known as Pancreatitis. Acute chemical pancreatitis can occur after certain operations or procedures such as an ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography), Cholecystectomy, splenectomy and more.
What is Endoscopic retrograde sphincterotomy also called?
