Abstract:

Selective biliary cannulation is an essential prerequisite for therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). The cap-fitted forward-viewing endoscope has been used for ERCP in patients with surgically altered anatomy. In this case series, 12 patients with periampullary diverticulum underwent ERCP using the cap-assisted forward-viewing endoscope due to failure of biliary cannulation using the standard technique. Successful ERCP was achieved in all patients with no serious complications.

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.
