Minimally Invasive ERCP: An Overview
Persistent abdominal pain, jaundice or recurrent pancreatitis can often point to a problem within the bile ducts or pancreatic duct — conditions that demand both precision and specialist expertise. ERCP is an advanced minimally invasive biliary procedure that combines endoscopy with real-time fluoroscopic imaging to achieve what conventional scans cannot — direct visualisation and simultaneous treatment of bile duct and pancreatic duct disorders.
Through endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, Dr Abhishek Banerjee delivers accurate diagnosis and targeted intervention — so patients can avoid open surgery and move toward faster, safer recovery.
Explaining ERCP
The ERCP procedure addresses the diagnosis and treatment of bile duct and pancreatic duct disorders — conditions causing obstructive jaundice, recurrent abdominal pain, pancreatitis and biliary infections.
Beyond diagnosis, ERCP enables removal of bile duct stones using ERCP, relief of bile duct blockage and strictures through stenting or balloon dilation, and endoscopic treatment of gallstones in the bile duct — all within a single procedure, without open surgery.
For patients requiring bile duct stone removal by ERCP, early consultation with Dr Abhishek Banerjee is crucial.
