3_Normal Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video demonstrates the standard technique of ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) in a patient experiencing abdominal colics. The video guides viewers through the procedure, including the positioning and maneuvering of the endoscope to reach the duodenum and papilla, as well as successful cannulation of both the pancreatic duct and common bile duct. The importance of optimal positioning and limited contrast medium injection is emphasized to minimize complications. The video also demonstrates the use of fluoroscopy for guidance and the potential use of an occlusion cholangiography to rule out pathologies and detect stones. The procedure concludes with the removal of accessories and the observation of spontaneous drainage from the papilla, indicating no abnormalities.
