Role of Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography in Benign Biliary Diseases
View through CrossRef
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a combination of endoscopy and X-ray technique, which was introduced as a diagnostic tool but with the advancement in the technology such as balloon dilatation or stent placement in combination with ERCP has transformed the latter into therapeutic accessory for multiple biliary diseases. It can also be used as an adjunct tool to increase the success rate of therapy. This diversified application of ERCP emphasizes the importance of this procedure for patients with biliary diseases despite the certain post-interventional complications. The scope of ERCP procedure is continuously increasing in the detection of anatomical or physiological abnormalities. ERCP plays an important role in conditions with biliary obstruction or biliary leaks, which may be due to primary or secondary causes. Biliary stents can be placed in combination with ERCP, which can assist in achieving therapeutic goals in patients with biliary strictures or clearance of biliary sludge.
