Contrast Injection: A contrast dye is injected through the endoscope into the common bile duct and pancreatic duct. The contrast dye helps in visualizing these ducts on X-ray images.

X-ray Imaging: As the contrast dye flows through the bile ducts and pancreatic duct, X-ray images are captured. These images provide detailed information about the anatomy and any abnormalities within these ducts.

Diagnosis or Intervention: Depending on the findings from the X-ray images, the doctor may perform various procedures or interventions during the ERCP like, removal of gallstones from the common bile duct, placement of stents to open and maintain duct patency, balloon dilation to widen strictures or narrow areas, sphincterotomy, where the muscle at the entrance of the bile duct is cut to relieve pressure, biopsy of any suspicious tissue or lesions for further evaluation, drainage of blocked or infected ducts.

Completion and Recovery: Once the necessary procedures are completed, the endoscope is withdrawn, and the patient is allowed to recover. The patient may be observed for a period to monitor for any immediate complications.

Post-Procedure Care: After the procedure, the patient may be instructed to avoid eating or drinking for a period until the sedation wears off. The healthcare team will provide post-procedure instructions and discuss any potential side effects or complications to watch for.

ERCP is generally considered a safe and effective procedure for diagnosing and treating conditions related to the bile ducts and pancreas.
