ERCP is a useful diagnostic and therapeutic procedure with combination of endoscope and X-rays imaging to examine and treat health problems related to liver, pancreas, gallbladder and bile ducts. Your doctor can remove bile duct stones, biopsy tumour or deploy stent to unblock obstruction bile ducts if required.
Your doctor will recommend ERCP evaluation if you have symptoms of yellow skin and eyes, pale stools or tea colour urine that suggestive of obstruction jaundice clinically.
It is normal for you to feel drowsy and may experience sore throat, mild abdominal discomfort and bloating immediately after ERCP.
You will have to wait few hours until the sedative effect wears off before going home. It is encouraged to arrange your relative or friend to accompany you home as you will not be able to drive home alone.
Some patients will have to stay overnight at the hospital for close monitoring depending on medical conditions.
There are minimal risks involved in an ERCP. Although our doctors have specialized training in performing ERCP examinations, complications do occur that include pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), bleeding and perforation. Your doctors will monitor closely after the procedure.
