Dr Etzkorn's first ERCP in Cambodia


Today the Borland Groover Clinic team along with Dr. Etzkorn performed the first ERCP ever at the hospital WorldHOPE's Sihanok in Phenom Phen that they are visiting. The patient has had recurrent right upper quadrant pain for several years and had ultrasound which demonstrated what appeared to be a dilated common bile duct. MRCP is not available in this city, also endoscopic  ultrasound is not available in the country of Cambodia. The surgeons had requested the ERCP to better understand the anatomy of the patient and to decide if surgical intervention might help in the symptomatology.

A large choledochal cyst was found
