How Much Does Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) Cost in Turkey?

The cost of Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in Turkey typically ranges from $2,000 to $3,200. Prices vary depending on the hospital, the experience of the gastroenterologist, whether stent placement or stone removal is needed, and the complexity of the case. In the United States, the average cost is $9,300 (per ASGE). This means ERCP in Turkey is about 72% less than in the U.S.

Turkish hospitals usually include pre-procedure labs, anesthesia, the ERCP procedure itself, use of endoscopic tools (such as sphincterotomy or stenting), a short hospital stay, and follow-up care in their pricing. In the U.S., anesthesia, hospital fees, imaging, and follow-up are often billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included before booking your procedure.
