Abstract : The minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedure known as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is crucial in the treatment of pancreaticobiliary diseases. This chapter gives a general review of ERCP while emphasizing its indications, specifics of the operation, related hazards, and most current developments in the field. In order to access and observe the biliary and pancreatic ducts, ERCP combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy. This enables the treatment of disorders like choledocholithiasis, strictures, and pancreatitis. This review examines the ERCP landscape as it changes, highlighting its significance in the age of sophisticated endoscopic methods and imaging modalities.
Keywords : ERCP, Indications and contraindications, Anatomy of the biliary and pancreatic system, Patient preparation, Complications and risks, Post ERCP cares.
