ERCP unit of the City Training and Research Hospital in Adana

ERCP is the method used in the endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the bile duct and pancreas.

How to follow the ercp path

When patients with indications for ERCP present to the gastroenterology outpatient clinic, the ERCP is performed with their admission to the gastroenterology service.

Does the patient feel the operation in the Ercp operation?

Anesthesia procedures are completed before or after patients are admitted to the hospital for ERCP. Patients do not feel the procedure because they are being treated with anesthesia.

In what cases is Ercp implemented?

In all types of bile duct obstruction (stones, tumors, stenosis), in case of bile leakage that may develop after gallbladder operations, in case of opening of a cyst in the liver into the bile duct, in injuries of the pancreatic duct.

What are the complications of the Ercp process?

The most common complication of ERCP is pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). While pancreatitis is mostly mild, it is rarely severe enough to be life-threatening. Other than pancreatitis, conditions such as bleeding and perforation of the intestine and bile duct may develop, which may require emergency surgical intervention. Because the ERCP procedure is performed under anesthesia, respiratory and heart problems related to anesthesia may occur.

Is there an alternative to the ercp process?

In cases where ERCP cannot be performed, PTK (a procedure performed by inserting the skin with a needle and viewing the bile duct) may be performed.

What are the conditions to be considered before the ercp process?

Patients should definitely tell about their previous illnesses (diabetes, high blood pressure, heart and lung disease) and the medications they use (especially blood thinners and medications they are allergic to).

How is the ercp process done?

The operation is performed on the patient after fasting at least 8 hours. Before the procedure, the patient's vascular outlet is opened. In order for the patient to sleep and not feel pain during the operation, the operation is performed under anesthesia.

How long does the ercp process take?

It takes 30 minutes on average.

What is the success rate of ercp?

The success rate is 85-90%.

How many days does the patient sleep in the hospital after Ercp?

If no complications occur during the ERCP procedure, the patient will be discharged from the hospital after one day of follow-up.
