Endoscopic drainage

Endoscopic drainage is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to relieve blockages or fluid buildup inside the body, often in organs like the pancreas or bile ducts. A flexible tube called an endoscope, equipped with a camera and tools, is inserted through natural openings such as the mouth or rectum to reach the affected area. The doctor then uses the endoscope to create a pathway or insert a stent to allow fluids to drain properly, reducing pain and preventing complications. This approach minimizes tissue damage, often leads to quicker recovery, and avoids more invasive surgery.
