This procedure involves treating various Biliary-pancreatic disorders. These include obstructive jaundice caused by common bile duct stones (extraction of the stones) or relieving obstruction in biliary-pancreatic cancers by placement of plastic or metal stents. ERCP also aids in obtaining tumor tissue cytology/biopsy from the bile duct to confirm the diagnosis in suspected cases of malignancy. It is helpful in procuring tissue for examination and aids in difficult biliary and pancreatic therapeutic endoscopic procedures.
