Are you dealing with persistent abdominal pain, yellowing of the skin, or discomfort that’s hard to explain?
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) may be the key to identifying and treating issues in your bile ducts and pancreas.
At Costamed Medical Group, we understand that your quality of life depends on an accurate diagnosis and effective solution—and ERCP offers both.
ERCP combines endoscopy with fluoroscopy (real-time X-ray imaging) to closely examine the bile ducts and pancreatic duct.
It’s especially helpful when other tests don’t provide enough clarity—and it can resolve many issues during the same procedure, offering immediate relief.
Endoscope insertion:
Under sedation for your comfort, the doctor gently guides a flexible endoscope through your mouth, esophagus, and stomach into the duodenum.
Contrast dye injection:
A special dye is introduced into the bile (and sometimes pancreatic) ducts, creating detailed X-ray images.
Diagnosis and treatment in one session:
If stones, strictures, or blockages are found, the specialist can remove the stones, place stents, or collect biopsies—all during the same procedure.
Abdominal pain and jaundice:
When persistent pain or yellowing of the skin suggests a bile duct obstruction.
Difficult gallstones:
Ideal for removing stones that are stuck and worsening your symptoms.
Tumors and strictures:
ERCP detects and treats ductal narrowing or lesions, offering real-time solutions.
Accurate diagnosis:
No more guesswork—get a clear view of what’s really happening inside.
Immediate treatment:
ERCP not only detects the issue but can fix it in the same session.
Prevent future complications:
Early detection and resolution of obstructions or tumors can avoid serious health consequences.
At Costamed Medical Group, every ERCP procedure is performed using advanced technology, by experienced medical professionals, and with a holistic approach to your health.
With ERCP, you don’t just find answers—you find solutions, so you can return to your daily life with greater safety and peace of mind.
Leave uncertainty and pain behind. ERCP is a solid step toward restoring your digestive well-being—and we’re ready to support you every step of the way.
