ERCP Pancreatic Endotherapy refers to the use of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) to diagnose and treat disorders of the pancreas and pancreatic duct. This minimally invasive technique is particularly valuable for managing conditions that obstruct or damage the pancreatic duct.
Chronic Pancreatitis:
Acute Recurrent Pancreatitis: Addressing ductal abnormalities such as strictures or stones.
Pancreatic Pseudocysts: Drainage into the gastrointestinal tract.
Pancreatic Ductal Disruptions: Management of leaks or fistulas.
Pancreatic Ductal Disruptions: Management of leaks or fistulas.
Benign and Malignant Pancreatic Diseases: Palliation in pancreatic cancer with ductal obstruction.
Post-Surgical Complications: Managing pancreatic leaks or ductal injuries.
Pancreatic Stenting: Temporary or long-term placement of stents to relieve ductal obstruction or treat leaks.
Dilation of Strictures: Balloon or mechanical dilation of narrowed areas in the pancreatic duct.
Stone Extraction: Retrieval or lithotripsy of pancreatic duct stones.
Pseudocyst Drainage: Connecting the pseudocyst to the gastrointestinal tract via endoscopic techniques.
