There are several things that will happen as you begin your ERCP, which this video clip explains. For videos and more check out http://www.emedtv.com/.
I had an ERCP 2 weeks ago in Auckland Public Hospital (New Zealand) and it was very successful. A very safe operation with zero complications. Even though it may have possible complications, not having it done can be life-threatening. I would recommend that getting professional advice is the right thing to do, rather than relying on YouTube as your doctor.
Yes, this procedure is very dangerous, I mean it has a high percentage of getting complications one of which is acute pancreatitis. Its even better to get diagnostic/remedial laparoscopy instead of ERCP. (Just in comparison of percentage of complications)
I had an ERCP and almost died Don't do it! I developed severe pancreatitis and then it went to my lungs I ]was in the hospital for two months s I think the doctor slipped up! It is not a safe procedure!
good video! I am very nervous about the sedatives though! They didn't help me when I had an endoscopy done and I gagged a lot! They ended up using an anesthetic instead. I am waiting for my appointment, they said about 2 weeks. I have abnormalities in the bile duct and in the pancreatic duct. My stomach feels swollen and I've had pain for 3 months now. Can't wait until this is all behind me!
I have had no less than six ERCP's in the past few years, and now have one every two months since my liver transplant in October 2010. I now look at them as little more than an opportunity for a mid-day nap. I only wish my hospital no longer used that awful tasting throat spray, it is the worst part of the entire procedure.
At our hospital we don't spray throats anymore. That's old school. And the positioning is wrong. Depending on the type of anesthesia you're given you're either flat on your stomach with your head turned to the right or on a large stiff foam pillow that is molded to place the chest and arms in the correct place.
