ERCP

ERCP is an advanced endoscopic procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions of the bile ducts, gallbladder, and pancreas. It combines endoscopy and X-ray imaging to identify blockages, stones, strictures, or tumors, and allows immediate treatment during the same procedure. Dr. Gourab Bhaduri performs ERCP using modern endoscopic equipment to safely diagnose and manage complex biliary and pancreatic disorders. His approach focuses on precise intervention, symptom relief, and prevention of serious complications.
