ERCP Surgery Cost in China

The cost of ERCP surgery is calculated according to the level and complexity of various operations, and the number of instruments used, so it may vary from 10,000 to 50,000 yuan. If it is just a small stone, there is no need for stone crush or other methods. After the cylindrical balloon is expanded, a guide wire and a knife are inserted into it to make a small incision, and the stone is removed with a stone basket or a balloon. If work this way, it can be about ten thousand yuan. However, if the stone in the common bile duct is large, because the sphincter cannot be enlarged too much, it may be broken or cracked if it is too large, and an operation should be performed. Stones use lithotripsy extraction basket, some people use lasers, and laser fibers are more expensive.

Another situation is to take the stone after the stone is broken. Maybe after one basket is broken, the basket is deformed and cannot be used, and a second basket needs to be used. In this case, the cost of surgery will increase. For tumors such as papillary cancer, duodenal cancer, and bile duct cancer, stents should be placed. If it is an ordinary plastic bracket, it is only 800 yuan, or even 600 yuan. There are also imported and domestic brackets that cost about 1,000 yuan. However, if a metal stent is used, the domestic stent may cost 6,000 yuan or 8,000 yuan, and the imported stent may cost 11,000 yuan or 12,000 yuan. There are also more expensive metal stents with membranes, which can be recycled and cost about 20,000 yuan, because the difference in materials leads to the difference in cost. But in general, simple angiography requires the use of guide wires, angiography catheters, and common equipment, and the cost is about 10,000 yuan.
