FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Spyglass Cholangioscopy?
Spyglass is an advanced endoscopic technique that allows direct visual inspection inside the bile duct using a tiny fibreoptic camera. It can treat stones that ERCP cannot remove — particularly large, impacted, or multiple CBD stones.
Is Spyglass Cholangioscopy available in Jharkhand?
Yes — Prime Hospital in Ramgarh is the first and only Spyglass Cholangioscopy centre in Jharkhand. Previously, patients had to travel to Delhi, Mumbai, or Kolkata for this procedure.
When is ERCP needed?
ERCP is needed for bile duct stones, bile duct strictures, pancreatitis caused by bile duct problems, and bile duct stenting. If ERCP alone can't remove the stone, Spyglass is the next step — available here at Prime Hospital.
What digestive problems can gastroenterology treat at Prime Hospital?
Our team handles GERD, peptic ulcers, liver disease, IBD (Crohn's & ulcerative colitis), pancreatic disease, gallstones, colorectal issues, and GI bleeding — all supported by advanced endoscopy including ERCP and Spyglass.
