Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio Pancreatography (ERCP) is available
to evaluate and treat pancreato biliary disease. ERCP has now
replaced surgery in most patients with common bile duct and pancreatic
disease as the modality of choice both for diagnosis as well as
treatment. Stones in both common Bile Duct and Pancreatic Duct
can be removed without surgery by ERCP. Benign and malignant Pancreatic
/ Biliary structure can also be diagnosed and treated, making
surgery unnecessary especially where paliation is the aim.
