Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per my surgical experience, ERCP is a day care procedure, in which under general anesthesia the procedure is done and patient gets discharge within 12 hours after the same if its uneventful. I would recommend to relax and wait for some time, till you hear from the nurse on duty.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
