About the Procedure
ERCP combines upper endoscopy with X-ray imaging to diagnose and treat conditions of the bile ducts, gallbladder, and pancreas — including gallstones lodged in the bile duct, strictures, and blockages. Dr. Zaid Gul can often remove stones or place a stent in the same session, avoiding more invasive surgery.
