Specialized ERCP Interventions & Biliary Care in Lahore
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an advanced, highly specialized procedure that combines upper GI endoscopy with real-time fluoroscopic X-ray imaging. Dr. Muhammad Raza is an accomplished ERCP specialist in Lahore with a track record of more than 500+ successful ERCP procedures performed for complex biliary and pancreatic disorders.
ERCP is primarily therapeutic, used to extract obstructive common bile duct (CBD) stones, relieve obstructive jaundice, place biliary stents, and diagnose bile duct strictures. Through precise cannulation and sphincterotomy techniques, invasive open surgeries are avoided.
Biliary & Pancreatic Duct Therapies
Administered within a fully equipped modern fluoroscopy suite, ERCP procedures prioritize rapid decompression of blocked bile ducts and immediate stone extraction. This procedure is vital for managing acute cholangitis, chronic pancreatitis, and biliary tract tumors with optimal patient safety.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common bile duct stones, obstructive jaundice, biliary strictures, bile leaks after gallbladder surgery, and pancreatic duct obstructions.
Answer: An endoscope is guided to the bile duct opening, a tiny incision (sphincterotomy) is made, and stones are extracted into the intestine using specialized retrieval baskets.
Most patients are monitored for a short period post-procedure, though some may require an overnight stay depending on clinical complexity.
Patients must fast for 8 hours beforehand. Current medications, especially blood thinners or diabetes drugs, must be reviewed and adjusted by Dr. Muhammad Raza ahead of time.
Most patients require only a few hours of clinical observation. However, depending on the complexity of the stone extraction or stenting, an overnight stay may occasionally be recommended.
