What is ERCP with stenting and what are its uses?

Hello Wali Hussain Ji,

Thank you for your query regarding ERCP with stenting. This is a specialised gastrointestinal procedure, and it's great that you're seeking clarity.

What is ERCP with Stenting?

ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) is a procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions of the bile ducts, pancreas, and gallbladder.
During ERCP, if there is a blockage or narrowing, a stent (a small tube) may be placed to keep the duct open and restore proper flow.

Why It's Done:

• To treat bile duct stones, pancreatitis-related issues, or bile duct cancer

• To relieve obstruction or jaundice

• To place stents in case of strictures or tumours

What You Should Know?

• Usually done under sedation or light anaesthesia

• It is a minimally invasive procedure with a quick recovery

• You may need hospital admission for a day or two, depending on the condition

• Follow-up is essential to monitor the stent and plan for replacement or removal
