Abstract

Scope of ERCP • Much of simple diagnostic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) now supplanted by magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). • Therapeutic ERCP growing exponentially: sphincterotomy; stenting as interim management in cholelithiasis; cholangitis; extrahepatic obstructive jaundice. • Endoscopic ultrasound for screening and diagnosis of pancreatic and biliary neoplasms.
