If you’re facing symptoms like unexplained jaundice, persistent abdominal pain, or recurrent pancreatitis, an ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) might be the diagnostic and therapeutic solution you need. At Curis Life – Andheri West’s trusted multispecialty clinic, we offer Endoscopic bile duct examination performed by experienced gastroenterologist specialists using state-of-the-art endoscopic imaging to examine and treat conditions of the bile and pancreatic ducts.
What is ERCP(Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography)?
ERCP is a specialized retrograde endoscopic procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions related to the biliary and pancreatic ducts. This includes bile duct stones, blockages, biliary strictures, gallstone pancreatitis, and cancers like cholangiocarcinoma or pancreatic cancer.
Why is ERCP Performed?
You may need an ERCP procedure if you have:
- Biliary obstruction or narrowed bile ducts
- Jaundice due to blocked bile flow
- Pancreatitis or recurring upper abdominal pain
- Suspected pancreatic duct blockage
- Common bile duct (CBD) stones
- Biliary or pancreatic cancer
At Curis Life, Andheri West, our expert gastroenterologists will evaluate your case and perform diagnostic or therapeutic ERCP based on your condition.

- You are given mild sedation for comfort.
- A flexible endoscope is passed through your mouth to the duodenum.
- Contrast dye is injected into the bile or pancreatic ducts.
- Real-time X-rays are taken to identify blockages or stones.
- If needed, biliary stenting, stone removal, or sphincterotomy is performed.
