My father is 48 years old with liver abscess, has a history of type 2 diabetes. My father has been treated with pus suction, liver drainage and pulmonary drainage. After 6 days of treatment, my father had a high fever of 38-40 degrees Celsius. The doctor asked me if I had a high fever after sucking pus from the liver and putting a tube to drain the lung fluid?

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is performed by a gastroenterologist or surgeon who has specialized training in the technique. The bronchoscope is a long, flexible tube with a light and camera on the end. Because the procedure involves sedation or general anesthesia, the patient will be consulted by an anesthesiologist before the procedure.

ERCP stands for "Endoscopic retrograd cholangio pancreatography", which means endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. ERCP is a procedure that can be used to diagnose and treat various diseases such as gallstones, acute pancreatitis, and cholangitis.

Peripapillary diverticula are often closely associated with the common bile duct and pancreatic duct, and their removal can be a risky procedure. Fortunately, they usually have a wide neck. These diverticula are asymptomatic in themselves, but if they are adjacent to a large duodenal papilla, they can interfere with the hepatopancreatic ampulla, especially if the diverticula are located on the bare side of the duodenal papilla, making catheter placement difficult (a contributing factor to catheter failure) or prone to perforation during endoscopic sphincterotomy.

Diagnosis and treatment of biliary tract, pancreatic head and duodenal region around the major papilla has long been a challenge for world medicine in general and our country in particular. In Vietnam, biliary-pancreatic diseases requiring surgical intervention are still common, in which common bile duct stones are a common disease with very serious complications such as cholangitis and biliary abscess.
