Issues[edit]

doi:10.1111/j.1572-0241.2007.01279.x - quite a lot of complications in very large review (16,000 episodes). JFW | T@lk 07:30, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Risks is currently written in the 2nd person and should be written in the 3rd person. --FearlessRahul 13:46, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

bile washout during ERCP?[edit]

Is it routine to wash out bile in this procedure? If yes, does this simply get discarded or are there diagnostic tests that are done on this bile wash out?

Thanks for any input! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.238.224.23 (talk) 15:59, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Should we remove the Cleanup tag?[edit]

Hi there. After looking at this article I compared this to another on diagnostic procedure (specifically Esophagogastroduodenoscopy) and found that they had very similar styles with bulleted lists for indications and therapeutics under medical uses. I have edited the article so it is now more streamlined in line with this.

My question is do we really need to change anything so the article has more prose? Unless more information is required to explain each point (which I would be happy to add at some point if needed) I think we should remove the cleanup tag.

Thanks --James Pleasant (talk) 16:30, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It looks borderline to me, so no objections to the tag staying or being removed. Widefox; talk 12:19, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright issue?[edit]

When searching around for more information about ERCP I found that some of the paragraphs on this article were directly copied from another website (http://zuberi.net/ercp.html) written by Professor Bader Faiyaz Zuberi. The copyright license on that website is unknown so I'm not sure if copying from it infringes Wikipedia's copyright rules. --James Pleasant (talk) 16:00, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi James Pleasant! Wikipedia does not accept verbatim copied material if it is copyrighted. I will have a look at the source you mentioned. Would you mind pointing out which sections are copied? Thanks! Bibeyjj (talk) 19:03, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can tell, Professor Bader Faiyaz Zuberi doesn't claim copyright over his material, and it is possible that he incorporated Wikipedia into his own work. However, I have pasted the following extract from his article, which is similar to the lead paragraphs of the Wikipedia article. Bibeyjj (talk) 19:07, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography (ERCP) is a technique that combines the use of endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat certain problems of the biliary or pancreatic ductal systems. Through the endoscope, the physician can see the inside of the stomach and duodenum, and inject radiographic contrast into the ducts in the biliary tree and pancreas so they can be seen on X-rays. ERCP is used primarily to diagnose and treat conditions of the bile ducts and main pancreatic duct, including gallstones, inflammatory strictures (scars), leaks (from trauma and surgery), and cancer. ERCP can be performed for diagnostic and therapeutic reasons."
