Frequently Asked Questions

What is ERCP?

ERCP stands for Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography. It combines endoscopy and X-ray imaging to examine and treat conditions of the bile ducts and pancreatic ducts.

Why is ERCP done?

ERCP is done to diagnose and treat various conditions such as gallstones, blockages, tumours, infections, and other abnormalities in the bile and pancreatic ducts.

How is ERCP performed?

ERCP is performed by inserting an endoscope through the mouth, down the oesophagus, and into the stomach and small intestine. A special dye is injected into the bile and pancreatic ducts to make them visible on X-ray imaging.

Is ERCP painful?

ERCP can be uncomfortable, but it is usually done under sedation or general anaesthesia to minimize any discomfort or pain.

How long does ERCP take?

ERCP takes anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour and longer, depending on the complexity of the case.

What are the risks of ERCP?

The risks of ERCP include bleeding, infection, perforation of the intestine, pancreatitis, and allergic reactions to the contrast dye.

How long does it take to recover from ERCP?

Recovery from ERCP can take a few hours to a day, depending on the sedation used and the complexity of the procedure.

Can I eat before ERCP?

You will be asked not to eat or drink anything for several hours before the procedure to make sure that your stomach and intestines are empty.

Can I drive after ERCP?

You will not be able to drive after ERCP because you will have received sedation or anesthesia, which can impair your ability to operate a vehicle.

How often is ERCP performed?

ERCP is a relatively common procedure and is routinely done in most tertiary care hospitals.

How do I prepare for ERCP?

You will be given specific instructions on how to prepare for ERCP, including what to eat and drink before the procedure, when to stop eating & drinking, and when to arrive at the hospital.

What should I expect during ERCP recovery?

You may experience some mild discomfort, bloating, or nausea after the procedure, but this should subside within a few hours.

How soon can I return to work after ERCP?

You may be able to return to work the day after ERCP, depending on your job and the complexity of the procedure.

Can ERCP diagnose cancer?

ERCP can help diagnose cancers in the bile ducts and pancreas by allowing doctors to view the area and take tissue samples for biopsy.

Can ERCP treat cancer?

ERCP can be used as palliation in some types of cancer by removing blockages or placing stents to keep the bile ducts and pancreas open.

What is the success rate of ERCP?

The success rate of ERCP depends on the condition treated, and it is generally considered to be a safe and effective procedure.

Can I have ERCP if I am pregnant?

ERCP is generally not recommended during pregnancy unless it is absolutely necessary, as it can pose risks to the fetus due to radiation exposure.

Can I have ERCP if I have a pacemaker?

ERCP is generally safe for patients with pacemakers, but you should inform your doctor of your pacemaker.

Will I be asleep during the ERCP procedure?

You will be given a sedative to help you relax during the procedure, but you will not be asleep.

Is an ERCP procedure painful?

Most patients experience minor discomfort during the procedure, although some may experience more significant discomfort if complications occur.

What conditions can ERCP be used to diagnose or treat?

ERCP can diagnose and treat a range of conditions, including bile duct gallstones, pancreatitis, bile duct cancer, and blockages in the bile ducts.

How long will I need to stay in the hospital after an ERCP procedure?

In most cases, patients are able to go home on the same day as the procedure. However, some patients may need to stay in the hospital for observation or to receive additional treatment.

Will I need to have additional ERCP procedures in the future?

In some cases, additional ERCP procedures may be required to manage ongoing or recurrent symptoms. Your doctor will discuss your treatment options with you and help you determine the best course of action.
