Frequently asked questions
ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) is a specialized procedure that combines endoscopy and X-ray imaging to diagnose and treat conditions of the bile ducts, gallbladder, and pancreas. It is used to identify and address issues such as blockages, stones, strictures, and tumors in these areas.
Patients are usually required to fast for 6-8 hours before the procedure. You should inform your doctor about any medications you are taking, especially blood thinners, and provide a detailed medical history. Specific preparation instructions will be given by our team based on your health condition.
ERCP is generally performed under sedation or anesthesia, so patients typically do not feel pain during the procedure. Some may experience mild throat discomfort or bloating afterward, but this usually subsides within a few hours.
The procedure usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on its complexity. Additional time may be needed for recovery from sedation.
Most patients can go home the same day, but rest is recommended for the remainder of the day due to sedation effects. Normal activities can typically be resumed within 24-48 hours unless advised otherwise by your doctor.
