Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP); with removal of calculi/calculus from biliary and/or pancreatic ducts
AI EXPLANATION: An ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) with stone removal is a procedure used to clear stones lodged in the bile or pancreatic ducts. A doctor inserts a thin, flexible tube with a camera through the mouth and stomach into the upper small intestine. Using special dye and X-ray imaging to locate blockages, tiny instruments are passed through the tube to capture, break up, or extract the stones, restoring normal drainage.
