Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): Diagnosis and Treatment at Dr. Hossam Hamed Center

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a crucial diagnostic and therapeutic procedure for treating jaundice caused by obstruction of the bile duct due to gallstones, tumors, or other reasons. At Dr. Hossam Hamed Center, we offer ERCP services with the latest techniques and medical equipment, aiming to provide effective treatment and improve the quality of life for patients suffering from jaundice.

Diagnosis:

1. Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): Used to diagnose and evaluate the condition of the bile ducts, detecting the presence, size, and type of obstructions.
   
   
2. Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP): Used to obtain accurate images of the bile ducts and determine the location and type of obstructions.

Treatment:

1. Stone Extraction: If gallstones are present in the bile ducts, the endoscope is used to safely and accurately extract them.
   
   
2. Stent Placement: In cases of partial or complete bile duct obstruction, stents can be placed to facilitate bile flow and improve the patient’s condition.
   
   
3. Balloon Dilatation: Balloons can be used to dilate the bile ducts in cases of partial obstruction.

In conclusion :

at Dr. Hossam Hamed Center, we are committed to providing comprehensive and specialized care for our patients through bile duct endoscopy, focusing on accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and patient comfort.
