The ERCP procedure, performed with an ERCP Scope, allows your physician to examine the pancreatic ducts and bile ducts. The scope, which is bendable and lighted, is placed through the mouth and into the stomach. In the duodenum a small opening is identified (ampulla) and a small plastic tube (cannula) is passed through the endoscope and into this opening. Dye (contrast material) is injected and X-rays are taken to study the ducts of the pancreas and liver.
This procedure is used to diagnose conditions of the pancreas and bile ducts and is also used to treat said conditions. The most common reasons to do ERCP include abdominal pain, weight loss, jaundice (yellowing of the skin), or an ultrasound or CT scan that shows stones or a mass in these organs. In patients with suspected or known pancreatic disease, ERCP will help determine the need for surgery or the best type of surgical procedure to be performed. Occasionally, pancreatic stones can be removed by ERCP.
