What is this medical procedure called?
Can you tell me the name of the medical procedure where they put the camera down your throat and you are awake, to view the bile duct whenever you have had a stone removed and bleeding occurs needing a blood transfusion? (It's not the ERCP when you are heavily sedated)

The medical procedure of actually putting a camera down your throat is called Endoscopy. This is used for many things. An endoscope is a camera used to pass through the mouth to evaluate the gastrointestinal tract, including the esophagus, stomach, bile ducts, etc.
