    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a key diagnostic tool.
    • It is used to evaluate intra- and extrahepatic jaundice and gallbladder disease.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of ERCP.
    • To emphasize its role in evaluating biliary and pancreatic conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • ERCP allows visualization of the pancreatic duct.
    • Endoscopic papillotomy (EP) is a specific application of ERCP.

    Main Results:

    • ERCP differentiates causes of jaundice by identifying anatomic lesions.
    • ERCP is definitive for gallbladder disease when other methods are inconclusive.

  • Endoscopic papillotomy effectively treats common bile duct gallstones and duct stenosis.

    • Conclusions:

    • ERCP is a versatile and essential diagnostic procedure.
    • Endoscopic papillotomy provides a safe, effective alternative to surgery for specific conditions.
    • ERCP has become a standard in diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
