Abstract

The current guidelines recommend endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures in pregnant women with minimal radiation exposure. Regarding the safety of ERCP during pregnancy, data are limited in the literature. In this study, we report our experience with five ERCP procedures performed in five pregnant women without radiation at a single tertiary health center.
