The cost of bile duct stone surgery usually ranges from $15,000 to $30,000. The exact cost depends on the patient’s condition and the treatment plan.
Surgery for bile duct stones usually includes traditional open choledochotomy for stone removal with T-tube drainage, laparoscopic choledochotomy for stone removal with T-tube drainage, and retrograde cholangiopancreatography for stone removal.
The cost of the traditional procedure is slightly lower, usually in the range of $15,000 to $20,000. If the procedure is done laparoscopically, the cost is around $20,000 and up. For retrograde cholangiopancreatic stone removal surgery, the cost is around $30,000 and up.
After the surgery, the patient’s recovery will also be monitored, and the cost may increase if the patient’s recovery does not go well.
If the patient wants to know the exact cost, it is recommended to go to the hospital and consult with the doctor. And listen to the doctor’s advice, timely treatment, to avoid delayed treatment and lead to aggravation of the condition.
