ERCP Stone Extraction

Mostly used for conditions requiring diagnosis and decompression/stone removal, such as imaging or laboratory findings suggestive of common bile duct stones, cholangitis, obstructive jaundice, etc.; can also be used to clear obstructions after stabilization of biliary pancreatitis. Decisions depend on symptoms and signs, severity of infection, size and location of stones, anatomical conditions, and anesthesia evaluation, and a comprehensive assessment of feasible drainage methods.
