ERCP is the test usually indicated to assist in a definitive diagnosis for both choledocholithiasis and cholangitis while Ultrasound testing is recommended for acute cholecystitis patients.
Elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy is used to treat either biliary colic or choledocholithiasis whichever the patient has. For acute cholecystitis open cholecystectomy is recommended. Emergency ERCP is indicated for stone removal for cholangitis case. Produced by gallbladder disease ERCP therapy can remove stones. Stones rarely occur without a gallbladder. A need for an ERCP to detect residual stones or damage to the bile ducts caused by the original stones for patients who have continued symptoms after their gallbladder is removed.
Rarely, is too tight for bile to flow through and causes symptoms until it is opened up the ampulla of Vater. Cholecystectomy, the surgical removal of the gallbladder, is the most common medical treatment for gallstones. Small biliary leaks were first treated with days of nasobiliary drainage, and if persistent with Fr internal stents for 1 month. One patient with a biliary stricture was dilated with placement of progressively larger biliary stents over 9-month period.
In 12 patients, it was performed within the first 24 h after LC. A cholangiogram was obtained in all patients. No complications were encountered.

Ask your doctor or nurse how much help you might need. Occasionally, these problems can be addressed by radiology procedures or more advanced surgical procedures using cameras and tools by open or laparoscopic surgery, but ERCP is more commonly used because it is less invasive than surgery and it has a high rate of success.
A nurse may spray your throat with a local anesthetic before the test begins. This will numb your throat to keep you from gagging choking and make you more comfortable. You will receive sedative medicine through an IV.
If you need general anesthesia for an ERCP, you will be completely asleep for the procedure. You will be lying on a table for the procedure which allows x-rays to be taken. Your doctor puts the endoscope into your mouth. Then they pass it down your throat esophagus to the stomach and the first part of your small intestine, the duodenum. The endoscope does not affect your breathing, and you might even fall asleep during the procedure. If you do feel discomfort, it will probably be minor.
For example, you might feel slightly bloated from the air your doctor uses to inflate the duodenum. You might also feel minor discomfort when your doctor injects dye for the x-rays. ERCP usually lasts thirty minutes to an hour. Your procedure might take more or less time depending on what your doctor needs to learn and do. You can talk with your doctor ahead of time about how long it might take. You stay in the procedure area for one 1 or 2 hours after your ERCP, until the sedatives wear off.
