Understanding ERCP and Stenting

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with stenting is a specialized procedure performed to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the bile ducts and pancreatic ducts. Led by Dr. Gajanan Rodge, a dedicated gastroenterologist at Bombay Hospital, Mumbai, ERCP with stenting is utilized to alleviate symptoms, improve bile flow, and enhance patients' quality of life.

What is ERCP and Stenting ?

ERCP with stenting is a minimally invasive procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to examine and treat abnormalities in the bile ducts and pancreatic ducts. Stenting involves the placement of a small tube (stent) into a narrowed or obstructed duct to maintain its patency and allow for the passage of bile or pancreatic secretions.

Why is ERCP and Stenting Performed ?

ERCP with stenting serves several purposes:

Relief of Biliary Obstruction:Stenting is used to alleviate blockages or strictures in the bile ducts caused by conditions such as gallstones, tumors, or scarring.

Treatment of Pancreatic Disorders:Stenting can help manage pancreatic duct strictures or obstructions, reducing pain and improving pancreatic function.

Drainage of Bile or Pancreatic Fluid Collections: Stents may be placed to facilitate drainage of fluid collections (such as bile leaks or pancreatic pseudocysts) into the gastrointestinal tract, preventing complications.

The ERCP and Stenting Procedure

The ERCP and stenting procedure typically involve the following steps:

Preparation:Patients may be asked to refrain from eating or drinking for a period before the procedure. Sedation or anesthesia may also be administered for comfort.

Endoscopic Examination:A flexible endoscope is inserted through the mouth and guided into the duodenum to access the bile ducts and pancreatic ducts.

Contrast Injection and Imaging:Contrast dye is injected into the ducts to visualize any abnormalities or blockages using fluoroscopy (real-time X-ray).

Stent Placement:Once the obstruction or stricture is identified, a stent is inserted through the endoscope and positioned within the duct to restore patency and facilitate drainage.

Risks Associated with ERCP and Stenting:

While ERCP with stenting is generally safe, there are potential risks and complications, including:

Pancreatitis:Inflammation of the pancreas may occur in some cases, leading to abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.

Bleeding: There is a slight risk of bleeding from the site of stent placement or biopsy during the procedure.

Results After ERCP and Stenting:

Following ERCP with stenting:

Symptom Relief: Patients often experience relief from symptoms such as jaundice, abdominal pain, and pancreatitis associated with bile duct or pancreatic duct obstruction.

Improved Quality of Life:Stenting helps restore normal bile flow and pancreatic function, improving patients' overall quality of life and reducing the need for further interventions.
