When you required ERCP Procedures?
This is the most common question most patients ask Dr. Vikrant Kale. when & Why do the ERCP? If the patient is seen the below symptoms then Dr. Vikrant Kale goes for the ERCP test. You might have this test:
- if your blood tests show abnormal liver results
- if you have severe inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis)
- to help work out how big a tumor is (the stage)
- if your doctor thinks there is a blockage in your bile ducts

How ERCP Procedure Performed at Kaizen Gastro Care?
- Before the Procedure: Kaizen expert team gives some instructions before performing the ERCP procedures such as you may be asked to take a liquid bowel preparation, You will therefore be asked not to have anything to eat or drink for at least six hours before the procedure
- During the Procedure: Kaizen team says to lie on your left side during the procedure and inserts a mouthguard to protect your teeth. Dr. Vikrant Kale will insert the endoscope into your stomach and the duodenum. The end of the endoscope contains a bright light and a tiny digital camera that sends pictures to a large screen so that your consultant can see what is going on. A very thin tube called a catheter that is less than 2mm wide is then passed down the endoscope until it reaches the point in the small intestine where the bile duct and pancreatic duct drain. This point is called the papilla. A dye that shows up on the X-ray is passed through the catheter and backward into the bile and pancreatic ducts. An X-ray of your upper abdomen is then taken.
- After the Procedure: You might experience bloating or cramps in your abdomen for about an hour after the examination but you shouldn’t feel any pain. If you do experience pain, bleeding or fever, tell your consultant immediately.
