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.
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
Persistent jaundice and unexplained abdominal pain
Bile leaks after surgery
Dr. Sarang Mahanaik performs ERCP procedures with precision and care at Apple Hospital, Indore, using the latest technology to ensure patient safety and comfort. The procedure is usually done under sedation or anesthesia.
Treatment options during ERCP include:
Removal of bile duct stones
Dilation of narrowed ducts using balloons or stents
Biopsy of suspicious areas for cancer diagnosis
Drainage of bile or pancreatic fluid collections
Post-procedure care and follow-up are integral parts of the treatment plan to ensure successful outcomes and prevent complications.
If you have symptoms such as jaundice, abdominal pain, or unexplained digestive issues, consult Dr. Sarang Mahanaik in Indore for expert evaluation and ERCP treatment. Early intervention can help diagnose and resolve complex biliary and pancreatic conditions effectively.
