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

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

Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days

We came from Germany for treatment at BLK-Max Hospital, and our experience has been excellent from start to finish. A special thanks to Emad Hussain for his outstanding support, coordination, and care throughout our entire journey. He was always available, professional, and made everything smooth and stress-free. We would also like to thank Anushka for her kind support and excellent assistance. We truly appreciate everything the team has done for us. We highly recommend their services to anyone planning to come to India for medical treatment. They are trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely care about their patients. Thank you so much for everything!
