Biliary and Pancreatic Endoscopy (ERCP) with Spyglass® Technology

ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) is a procedure used to check the bile ducts, pancreatic duct, and gallbladder. These ducts help your body digest food by carrying bile from the liver and digestive juices from the pancreas. ERCP helps doctors find and treat problems in these areas.

How Does ERCP Work?

During ERCP, the doctor uses a flexible tube called an endoscope. The tube has a small camera on it to let the doctor see inside your body. The doctor carefully guides the tube through your mouth, down your throat, and into your stomach, reaching the small intestine. This is where the bile and pancreatic ducts meet.

Once the tube is in place, the doctor puts a small tube (catheter) into the ducts and adds a special dye. This dye makes the ducts easier to see on an X-ray. It helps the doctor find any blockages or problems.

How Spyglass® Technology Helps ERCP

Spyglass® Technology makes ERCP even better. It gives doctors clear, high-quality images of the bile and pancreatic ducts. This helps doctors see problems more easily and make the right diagnosis. Spyglass® makes it easier to spot blockages, stones, or other issues in the ducts.

Spyglass® also helps doctors do treatments, like removing blockages or taking samples, more easily. This means fewer problems and faster recovery for patients, making the procedure more comfortable.

Why Choose ERCP with Spyglass® Technology?

ERCP with Spyglass® Technology is a safe and effective procedure. It helps doctors see your bile and pancreatic ducts clearly, leading to more accurate results and better treatments. If you have problems with your bile ducts, pancreas, or gallbladder, ERCP with Spyglass® is a reliable way to find and treat them.
