Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) at LGI Hospital
Welcome to LGI Hospital’s specialized Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) service. Our expert team of gastroenterologists and endoscopy specialists is dedicated to providing advanced diagnostic and therapeutic care for patients with disorders of the bile ducts, pancreas, and gallbladder.
What is ERCP? (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography)
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the bile ducts, pancreas, and surrounding organs. During ERCP, an endoscope—a flexible tube with a camera and light—is inserted through the mouth and guided into the duodenum. This allows for visualization of the biliary and pancreatic ducts.

From pre-procedure evaluation to post-procedure follow-up, our dedicated healthcare team provides comprehensive care and support to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.
Conditions Treated with ERCP
ERCP is used to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions, including:
- Bile Duct Stones: ERCP can be used to remove gallstones that have become lodged in the bile ducts. This relieves obstruction and prevents complications such as cholecystitis or pancreatitis.
- Biliary Strictures: Narrowing of the bile ducts due to scarring or inflammation can be treated with techniques such as balloon dilation or stent placement during ERCP.
- Pancreatic Disorders: ERCP is valuable in the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic conditions such as chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic duct strictures, and pseudocysts.
- Tumors and Growths: ERCP can aid in the detection and biopsy of tumors or growths within the bile ducts or pancreas, guiding further management and treatment.
