Summary

Endoscopic retrograde pancreatography (ERP) remains valuable for diagnosing pancreatobiliary diseases when non-invasive methods are insufficient. This review clarifies ERP's diagnostic role and optimal use in pancreatic disease management.

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

5.9K
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.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Endoscopic retrograde pancreatography (ERP) is an accurate diagnostic tool for pancreatobiliary diseases.
  • Its use has declined due to invasiveness and advanced non-invasive imaging like CT, MRI, and EUS.
  • ERP has shifted towards a primarily therapeutic role since endoscopic sphincterotomy's introduction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the diagnostic yield of ERP.
  • To define precise indications for ERP in pancreatic disease diagnosis.
  • To outline a diagnostic protocol for pancreatic diseases integrating guidelines and expert opinion.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review of diagnostic yield of ERP.
  • Analysis of international guidelines for ERP indications.

  • Consultation with Hungarian experts for diagnostic protocol development.

    • Main Results:

    • ERP's diagnostic value is significant in specific pancreatobiliary conditions.
    • Pancreatic duct injection increases post-ERP pancreatitis risk (1.6%-15.7%).
    • International guidelines recommend ERP mainly for required biliary intervention.

    Conclusions:

    • ERP can provide essential diagnostic information when non-invasive techniques are inconclusive.
    • Defining clear indications and protocols can enhance diagnostic accuracy and patient safety.
    • Optimizing ERP use minimizes patient burden and procedure-related complications.
