Market Insights
Pancreatic and bile duct stones are solid particles that form from crystallized fluids within the pancreas or bile ducts. These stones can obstruct ducts, causing severe infections and inflammation if left untreated. While gallstones often go unnoticed in the gallbladder, complications arise when they enter and block the ducts. Pancreatic stones typically consist of calcium carbonate and are associated with digestive enzyme crystallization.The market has observed a strong inclination toward advanced endoscopic interventions such as Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), which offers both diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities.
