Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. A review of the rewards and indications

P L Szego et al. Gastrointest Radiol. .

Abstract

Indications for endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP) have been poorly defined. We studied the symptoms in 161 patients who underwent ERCP and evaluated the results from four groups of indications: cholestasis, pancreatitis, suspected carcinoma of the pancreas, and pain of unknown etiology. The likelihood of finding abnormalities is discussed.
