Cost of Biliary Drainage & Stenting (PTBD) in India

Treatment overview

Biliary drainage and stenting (PTBD — percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage) is an image-guided interventional radiology procedure that relieves blockages in the bile ducts without open surgery. When bile ducts are blocked — most often by cancers of the pancreas, gallbladder, or bile duct itself, by scar-tissue strictures, or by stones that cannot be reached by endoscopy — bile backs up into the liver, causing jaundice, itching, dark urine, and liver damage. An interventional radiologist uses ultrasound and X-ray guidance to pass a fine needle through the skin and liver into a blocked bile duct, then places a thin drainage catheter or a small mesh or plastic stent to restore normal bile flow. The procedure is performed under sedation and typically takes between 45 minutes and two hours. Most patients notice relief from itching within one to two days, with jaundice clearing gradually over one to two weeks.

Comprehensive Investigations

Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000

Typical tests for this treatment: Ultrasound abdomen, MRCP (Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography), CT scan abdomen with contrast, Liver function tests (LFT), Kidney function tests (KFT), CBC (Complete Blood Count), PT/INR and coagulation profile, Blood sugar (fasting and post-prandial). Done in India before hospital admission. Cost varies with case complexity.

Treatment / Procedure estimate

Estimated cost in India: $4,500 – $5,500

Stay in India
