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

ERCP + Papillotomy is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your ERCP + Papillotomy result rather than self-diagnosing.
