ERCP

ERCP Treatment in Indore by Dr. Sarang Mahanaik

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a specialized diagnostic and therapeutic procedure used to examine and treat problems in the bile ducts, gallbladder, and pancreas. Dr. Sarang Mahanaik, a skilled gastroenterologist in Indore, offers advanced ERCP services to diagnose and manage complex hepatobiliary and pancreatic conditions effectively.

Overview of ERCP

ERCP combines endoscopy and X-ray imaging to visualize the bile and pancreatic ducts. During the procedure, an endoscope is passed through the mouth into the small intestine, and a contrast dye is injected into the ducts. This allows for detailed imaging to identify blockages, stones, strictures, or tumors.

ERCP is not only diagnostic but also therapeutic, enabling Dr. Mahanaik to perform interventions such as stone removal, stent placement, and biopsy without the need for invasive surgery.

ERCP is commonly used for:

• Gallstones blocking bile ducts

• Bile duct strictures or narrowing

• Pancreatitis caused by duct obstruction

• Bile duct or pancreatic tumors
