Why ERCP is Performed?

ERCP with stenting serves several purposes:

Relief of Biliary Obstruction:

Stenting is used to alleviate blockages or strictures in the bile ducts caused by conditions such as gallstones, tumors, or scarring.

Treatment of Pancreatic Disorders:

Stenting can help manage pancreatic duct strictures or obstructions, reducing pain and improving pancreatic function.

Drainage of Bile or Pancreatic Fluid Collections:

Stents may be placed to facilitate drainage of fluid collections (such as bile leaks or pancreatic pseudocysts) into the gastrointestinal tract, preventing complications.
