Ercp, Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography

Erhp (Ercp), Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) is a study in which a catheter is passed through a duodenoscope into the ampulla of Vater (hepatopancreas) of the common bile duct and a radiopaque substance is injected under X-ray control. Currently, this method is widely used for the diagnosis of obstructive jaundice and pancreatitis. See also Papillotomy.



Erhp is an endoscopic examination that allows you to diagnose obstructive jaundice and pancreatitis. It is performed by inserting a catheter through the duodenoscope into the ampulla of Vater of the common bile duct. Then a contrast agent is injected under X-ray control.

This research method is one of the most effective for diagnosing diseases of the biliary tract and pancreas. It allows you to detect the presence of gallstones, bile duct obstruction, pancreatitis, and other diseases.

ERCP is an invasive test that may cause some complications, such as tissue damage, bleeding, or infection. However, due to its high accuracy and efficiency, this diagnostic method is widely used in modern medicine.



Erhp is a medical procedure that is used to diagnose and treat diseases of the biliary tract and pancreas. This study is performed endoscopically, that is, through an endoscope that is inserted into the gastrointestinal tract.

Cholangiopathic pancreatography is an endoscopic retrograde method of contrasting the bile ducts, pancreas and duodenal mucosa. This diagnostic method is practically used in modern endoscopy to study the duct system of the body.

Instrumental examination is performed using a duodenitis balloon catheter inserted into the duodenum, or through a thin endoscope-like endoscope, which can be used to examine the ampullary portion of the hepatic duct.

It consists of introducing radiopaque solutions through an endoscope into the cavity of the biliary tract, from where they reach the pancreatic cavity through the ducts, and then the duodenum and colon - its terminal section or appendix, where the outpouring of the solution is carried out using a special tip. The outpouring is accompanied by dripping the dye into the immediate environment of the surrounding tissue, followed by photographing the areas under study.
