Techniques Used in Pancreatic Disease
Our gastroenterologist procedures include a wide range of GI therapeutic endoscopy methods:● Therapeutic ERCP
A specialized scope and contrast dye are used to access and treat the pancreatic ducts. It allows for:- Stone extraction
- Duct dilation
- Stent placement
● Pancreatic Stenting Procedure
Small plastic or metal stents are placed to maintain duct patency and improve drainage.● Endoscopic Pancreatic Drainage
For pseudocysts or ductal fluid collections, drainage is performed endoscopically to relieve pressure and pain.● Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)
Used for imaging, fine-needle aspiration, and guided interventions—especially helpful for pancreatic cyst evaluation or deep drainage.Precision Medicine
We combine diagnostic imaging, tumor marker testing, and endoscopic intervention into a precision medicine model to personalize care. This helps guide decisions between therapeutic ERCP vs diagnostic ERCP, enables accurate targeting of pancreatic duct therapy, and supports comprehensive care planning for patients with pancreatic cancer, pancreatitis, or cystic disease.
