Why Does ERCP Have A High Risk Of Pancreatitis? - Pancreatic Health Network

Описание: Why Does ERCP Have A High Risk Of Pancreatitis? Have you ever wondered why certain medical procedures carry risks of complications like pancreatitis? In this informative video, we'll explain the factors that contribute to the increased likelihood of pancreatic inflammation following ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography). We'll start by describing what ERCP is and how it is used to diagnose and treat issues within the bile and pancreatic ducts. We'll discuss how the procedure involves manipulating delicate internal structures, which can sometimes lead to irritation or injury. You'll learn about the role of the sphincter of Oddi, a muscular valve that controls fluid flow, and how its dysfunction can increase the risk of inflammation. The video also covers the impact of making small cuts, called sphincterotomies, and how these can cause local swelling or injury. We’ll explore how difficulties during the procedure, such as unintentional injury or multiple attempts to access the ducts, can raise the chances of complications. Additionally, certain patient factors, like gender, medical history, or anatomical variations, can make some individuals more vulnerable. Finally, we’ll discuss alternative, less invasive options and the importance of experienced specialists performing ERCP to minimize risks. Whether you're a patient or healthcare professional, understanding these factors is essential for safe and effective treatment.
