What are the risks and side effects of ERCP?

ERCP is generally safe, but complications can occur in a small percentage of patients. The most common risk is pancreatitis, which may cause abdominal pain, nausea, and hospitalization after the procedure. Other possible complications include bleeding, infection, perforation of the intestine, or reactions to sedation. Your doctor evaluates individual risk factors carefully before recommending ERCP.
