Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with Plastic Stent Insertion

What is ERCP with Plastic Stent Insertion?

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a procedure used to diagnose and treat issues related to the bile ducts and pancreas. During the procedure, a plastic stent may be inserted to clear blockages and restore bile flow.

Causes for ERCP with Plastic Stent Insertion

  • Gallstones blocking the bile duct.
  • Pancreatic duct obstructions.
  • Bile duct strictures or narrowing.
  • Chronic pancreatitis or injury to bile ducts.
  • Tumors causing bile duct blockages.

Symptoms that Lead to ERCP

  • Jaundice: Yellowing of the skin and eyes.
  • Abdominal pain (particularly upper abdomen).
  • Fever with chills, indicating possible infection.
  • Nausea or vomiting.
  • Clay-colored stools due to lack of bile.

ERCP with Plastic Stent Insertion Procedure

  1. Preparation: The patient is sedated or given anesthesia.
  2. Scope Insertion: A thin, flexible tube (endoscope) is passed through the mouth, down the esophagus, and into the stomach and small intestine.
  3. Imaging: A contrast dye is injected to highlight the bile and pancreatic ducts on X-ray.
  4. Stent Placement: A plastic stent is inserted to open blocked ducts and allow the normal flow of bile or pancreatic fluids.

Treatment Post-Procedure

  • Antibiotics may be prescribed to prevent infections.
  • Pain management: Some discomfort may be felt after the procedure.
  • Follow-up: Regular monitoring is needed to ensure the stent remains functional.
