Is ERCP better than surgery?

ERCP and surgery are used for different purposes and are not always direct alternatives. ERCP is minimally invasive and is commonly preferred for removing bile duct stones, placing stents, or relieving blockages without open surgery. However, some conditions still require surgical treatment, especially if gallbladder disease or tumors are involved. The best option depends on the underlying diagnosis and overall patient health.
