ERCP + Papillotomy Price in Bangladesh

What is ERCP + Papillotomy?

ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) with papillotomy is a procedure used to treat bile duct or pancreatic duct blockages, strictures, or stones. During the procedure, an endoscope is inserted through the mouth into the duodenum, where contrast dye is injected to visualize the ducts.

If an obstruction is present, a small incision (papillotomy) is made in the sphincter of Oddi, the valve controlling bile flow, to allow easier access for stone removal or to facilitate stent placement. The procedure is performed under sedation.

Risks include bleeding, infection, pancreatitis, or injury to the ducts. Follow-up care is important to ensure healing and avoid complications.

What to expect & how to prepare

This is an interventional procedure carried out by a specialist doctor, not a walk-in laboratory test. The doctor performing it will explain the steps, the sedation or anaesthesia used, and the recovery time before you give written consent.

• Referral: bring the referral or advice from the doctor who requested this procedure, along with earlier reports and imaging.
• Fasting and medication: fasting time and instructions about blood thinners, diabetes medicines or other drugs come from the performing doctor and are specific to this procedure — follow those instructions, not general lab advice.
• Consent: you will be asked for written informed consent, and you can ask about risks and alternatives before signing.
• Companion: if sedation is planned, arrange for someone to travel home with you.

Interventional procedures carry procedure-specific risks. Discuss your medical history, allergies, pregnancy status and current medicines with the performing doctor beforehand.

Performed by a specialist team; a doctor's referral is normally required.
