Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)

• It is the best method available as it is both diagnostic and therapeutic
• ERCP is being used for sphincterotomy, stone extraction, and stent insertion
• Occlusive cholangiography is contraindicated in patients with acute suppurative cholangitis as it increases the development of septicemia.
