| Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) | ||
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a specialized procedure performed at the hospital to evaluate and treat problems of the bile duct or pancreas duct. Our physicians will use a special endoscope and fluoroscopy (x-ray) to look for problems in the bile ducts (ie a stone or blockage). In addition, problems can frequently be removed or improved. You will be given a deeper form of sedation for this more complex procedure. Patients usually do not remember the procedure.
