ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography) is a diagnostic and interventional procedure used to examine the bile ducts and pancreas for conditions such as CBD stones. The doctor inserts an endoscope into the esophagus, passes it through the stomach and small intestine into the duodenum, then injects contrast dye into the bile ducts while taking X-rays to identify any blockages or abnormalities. If a CBD stone is found, it can be removed using various techniques such as basket retrieval or lithotripsy.
