Persistent abdominal pain, bleeding, difficulty swallowing, and other digestive symptoms may require direct examination of the digestive tract. Endoscopy provides a detailed view of the oesophageal lining, stomach, and intestine. ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) is a minimally invasive procedures that used to assess and treat problems affecting the bile and pancreatic ducts.
At Aditya Birla Memorial Hospital, Pimpri endoscopy and ERCP are available for patients with digestive symptoms, suspected blockages, or abnormal imaging results. Our gastroenterologist assesses each patient’s symptoms and test results to determine the cause and plan appropriate treatment.
Both are minimally invasive procedures. During endoscopy, doctors use a thin, flexible tube with a high-resolution camera to examine the oesophagus, stomach, and upper intestine, or the colon and rectum, depending on the type of procedure. It helps detect ulcers, inflammation, polyps, and other structural changes.
ERCP is a specialised form of endoscopy combined with X-ray imaging. It examines the bile ducts, gallbladder, and pancreatic duct. Doctors use ERCP to locate blockages, remove gallstones lodged in the bile duct, and place stents where needed. At our endoscopy hospital in Pimpri, both procedures are used together or separately, based on the patient's symptoms.

ERCP treatment in Pimpri covers both diagnosis and therapy in a single procedure. Once the endoscope reaches the bile duct opening, contrast dye and X-ray imaging help locate the problem. Our gastroenterologists then remove stones, dilate strictures, or place stents to restore normal bile flow. This approach often avoids the need for open surgery. The exact steps depend on what the imaging shows during the procedure.
Before any procedure, our team reviews the patient's symptoms, blood tests, and prior imaging. Sedation is given to keep the patient comfortable throughout. Findings are explained clearly afterwards, along with the recommended next steps, whether that means medication, monitoring, or further intervention. This structured approach helps avoid unnecessary procedures.
