Looking for ERCP near you in Madinah, Saudi Arabia? At Dr. Amer Medical Center, we offer advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for complex biliary and pancreatic conditions through Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
What is ERCP?
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a specialized procedure that combines endoscopy and X-ray imaging to diagnose and treat problems in the bile ducts, gallbladder, pancreas, and liver. It is commonly used for:
- Gallstones obstructing bile ducts
- Bile duct strictures (narrowing)
- Pancreatitis and pancreatic duct issues
- Bile leaks after surgery
- Detection and treatment of tumors in the biliary or pancreatic system
How ERCP Works
During the ERCP procedure at Dr. Amer Medical Center:
- A flexible endoscope is gently inserted through the mouth into the small intestine.
- A catheter is guided into the bile and pancreatic ducts.
- A contrast dye is injected to enhance X-ray imaging.
- Our specialists identify abnormalities and can perform treatments during the same procedure, such as:
- Stone extraction
- Stent placement
- Sphincterotomy (cutting of a muscle to relieve duct pressure)
