ERCP: Pre-Op & Post-Op Care

Preparation for ECRP Surgery

Before an ERCP test, the gastroenterologist will review risks and benefits with the patient, who must sign a consent form. Pre-surgery instructions include fasting, taking prescribed medications with water, and discontinuing certain medications as directed.

During the procedure

The ERCP procedure involves numbing the throat, inserting an endoscope, guiding it down the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, injecting contrast dye, using fluoroscopy, and checking for duct issues. Gastroenterologists also fix issues during procedures using tiny instruments, such as breaking up gallstones, removing tumors, dilating ducts, placing stents, repairing leaks, or performing sphincterotomies.

After the ECRP Test

Following the procedure, one will spend an hour or two in the hospital while the anesthesia wears off, and may be discharged home. Patients may experience some groggy or spacey symptoms for the rest of the day following the ERCP surgery which will normalize over time.

Post-procedure Care & ERCP Recovery

ERCP recovery is typically quick, with most individuals returning home the same day after the procedure. After the ERCP, the patient may experience a painful throat and swallowing difficulty for some time but can resume normal activities and diet unless instructed otherwise by the doctor.
