Understanding ERCP Treatment for Gallbladder Stones

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a medical procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts and pancreas. When gallstones move from the gallbladder to the bile duct they can cause blockages leading to pain, jaundice and infections.

ERCP treatment for gallbladder stones involves inserting a flexible tube with a camera through the mouth into the digestive tract. A contrast dye is used to highlight the bile ducts allowing the doctor to locate and remove gallstones or place a stent if needed.

Types of Gallbladder Stones Treated with ERCP

Gallstones vary in composition and size are primarily used for bile duct stones also known as choledocholithiasis The main types include:-

Cholesterol Stones → These are yellow-green and primarily composed of cholesterol
Pigment Stones → These dark-colored stones contain excess bilirubin and are often seen in people with liver disease
Mixed Stones → A combination of cholesterol bilirubin and bile salts often leading to severe symptoms

When gallstones cause bile duct obstruction ERCP treatment for gallbladder stones is one of the most effective treatment options.
