[Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in pediatric surgery].

We present four pediatric patients with biliary pathology in which endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was obtained in order to achieve a more complete diagnostic work-up. Although ERCP is not presently a routine diagnostic technique in children, in this report we evaluate the additional advantages, indications and drawbacks of this technique, especially in the planning for the surgical repair of the biliary pathology.
