Treatment Options
The clinic specializes in two main procedures for gallstone disease. Each is tailored to the patient's specific condition.
- Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: This is minimally invasive gallbladder removal. The package price of $5,800 to $6,680 typically covers general anesthesia, a one-night hospital stay, pre-operative tests, pathology, and companion accommodation. It is not for travel costs.
- ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography): This procedure removes stones from the bile ducts without surgery. It may cost around $5,650 and includes the procedure and anesthesia. A hospital stay and follow-up visits are separate.
Patients benefit from the hospital's international accreditations, including JCI and ESMO. Services like free airport transfers and interpreter support simplify the journey. If you are considering treatment for gallstones, contacting the clinic for a personalized consultation is the next step.
