Patient information
The Biliopancreatic Unit at the Publio Cordón Memorial Hospital, which forms part of the Digestive System Department, specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the biliary tract and the pancreas, particularly those requiring advanced endoscopic techniques.
Its work focuses on the management of acute and chronic conditions that may compromise digestive function or lead to significant complications. The approach combines specialised clinical assessment with minimally invasive procedures, tailored to each individual case.
Expert intervention is particularly important in cases of recurrent symptoms, complications of biliary or pancreatic disease, findings on imaging tests that require targeted investigation, or situations requiring specific endoscopic treatment.
The conditions most frequently treated include:
Biliary colic
Gallstones (choledocholithiasis)
Cholangitis
Acute pancreatitis
Chronic pancreatitis and its complications
Pancreatic or biliopancreatic lesions requiring specialist investigation
Other disorders of the biliary tract and pancreas that require advanced diagnosis or specific endoscopic treatment are also assessed.
The care process begins with a detailed clinical assessment, aimed at understanding the cause of the problem and its actual impact on each patient.
The assessment is supported by imaging tests and advanced endoscopic techniques, such as echoendoscopy and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), which enable us to accurately identify the cause of the symptoms and plan the most appropriate treatment.
Decisions are made based on expert medical judgement, prioritising the correct indication and clearly explaining the available options, whilst allowing sufficient time for an informed decision to be made.
The unit prioritises endoscopic and minimally invasive approaches, which are fundamental to the treatment of biliary and pancreatic conditions. These include ERCP of the biliary tract to resolve obstructions and the endoscopic removal of stones, as well as diagnostic and therapeutic echoendoscopy procedures.
Where necessary, treatment is carried out in coordination with other specialist departments within the hospital, ensuring a multidisciplinary, personalised and safe approach.
The unit comprises specialists in gastroenterology with extensive experience in biliopancreatic pathology and advanced endoscopic techniques. Their clinical practice is based on expert judgement, appropriate therapeutic indications and the safe management of complex procedures.
