Abstract

Pregnancy is a state associated with an increased risk of lithogenesis on the gallbladder. Cholelithiasis during pregnancy has an incidence of 12%, with pregnancy being an important risk factor for gallstones. The delayed endoscopic intervention has been associated with an increased risk of adverse events. Using the resource of ERCP in pregnancy is valuable in diseases of the biliary tract. The use of measures to reduce exposure to radiation should be the norm and the delay of this procedure should not be carried out when there are precise indications for it.
