What Is ERCP?
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a specialized procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the bile ducts, gallbladder, pancreas, and liver. It combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to visualize the ducts, identify blockages or abnormalities, and treat them in the same session.
Whether you have gallstones, jaundice, or bile duct injuries, ERCP can offer a minimally invasive solution. With Dr. Shankar Zanwar’s expertise, patients receive advanced, targeted care with high precision and low risk.

What Happens During the Procedure of ERCP?
Sedation & Endoscope Insertion
You will receive sedation to relax, and a flexible endoscope is passed through your mouth into the small intestine.
Cannulation and Dye Injection
A small tube is inserted through the scope into the bile or pancreatic ducts, and a contrast dye is injected for clear X-ray imaging.
Diagnostic Evaluation
X-rays help the doctor identify stones, strictures, or tumors in the ducts.
Treatment Procedure
Depending on findings, the doctor may remove stones, insert stents, or take tissue samples (biopsy).
Dual Role - Diagnosis & Treatment in One Procedure
Unlike many tests, ERCP not only detects the issue but often treats it during the same session, minimizing the need for multiple procedures and reducing overall recovery time.
Gallstones in the Bile Duct
Removes stones blocking the bile flow and causing pain or infection.
Pancreatic or Bile Duct Tumors
Helps in identifying growths or narrowing affecting digestion and bile flow.
Chronic Pancreatitis
ERCP can assess duct damage and place stents to relieve symptoms.
Bile Duct Injuries or Leaks
Common post-surgery; ERCP helps detect and seal the leakage.
