Pediatric ERCP Procedure

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a minimally invasive procedure that combines endoscopy and X-ray imaging to diagnose and treat problems related to the bile ducts, gallbladder, and pancreas. While ERCP is more commonly used in adults, pediatric gastroenterologists can perform this procedure on children when necessary, particularly if the child is experiencing issues such as bile duct obstruction, pancreatitis, or certain congenital abnormalities. The ERCP procedure involves inserting a flexible tube with a camera into the digestive tract, allowing the doctor to view the ducts and take necessary action, such as removing blockages or taking biopsies. While the procedure can sound intimidating, it is safe for children and typically performed under sedation to ensure comfort. Dr. Kumar’s Pediatric Gastroenterology Clinic specializes in performing pediatric ERCP procedures with a focus on comfort, safety, and efficiency. Using advanced technology and techniques, Dr. Kumar ensures that children receive the best care for their digestive health, addressing even complex issues with precision and care.
