PTBD (Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage) cost in SingaporeConfirmation required
Get a Personalized Cost EstimatePTBD (Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage) in Singapore plans at Confirmation required, an indicative band scaled from our India catalog figure rather than a hospital tariff. Typical stay is procedure- and recovery-dependent, and the market sits at Higher than India.
Varies significantly. Request a self-pay estimate tied to the actual lesion, duct anatomy and observation plan rather than a general endoscopy package.
PTBD is an image-guided drain placed through the liver into a blocked bile duct when ERCP cannot reach or adequately drain the obstruction.
Under ultrasound and fluoroscopy, a needle enters a bile duct through the liver. A wire and drain are placed to an external bag or internalised when possible.
PTBD is not ERCP and not a surgical bypass. External bags, internal-external catheters and later stent internalisation are different stages. Infection and tube dislodgement can occur.
The same assumption priced in each market. Read Singapore against the rest of the row rather than on its own, and confirm any figure with a written quotation from a named hospital in that country.

| Country | Approximate cost | Relative cost position | Important cost considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| India | $1,500–$4,500 | Baseline | GAF catalog planning range. The stored India figure is a national planning range. It does not establish candidacy, therapeutic add-ons, stent choice, observation nights or a final quotation. |
| Turkey | Confirmation requiredIndicative planning estimate* | Higher than India | Quotation required. Compare the exact GI procedure, diagnostic versus therapeutic work, stent or device, sedation, emergency backup and follow-up rather than a headline package. |
| Thailand | Confirmation requiredIndicative planning estimate* | Higher than India | Depends on procedure and hospital. International coordination does not establish advanced-endoscopy capability, pathology turnaround or continuity after return. |

| United States | $8,000–$22,000 | ≈5× India | Stored self-pay reference. Facility, specialist, device, imaging and follow-up charges may be billed separately; $8,000–$22,000 is a comparison range, not a bundled quotation. |
International comparisons are indicative and may not represent identical packages. Anatomy, devices, emergency timing, complications, currency and length of stay can change the final amount.

Initially I was very hesitant what to do, where to go for the treatment of my father who was suffering with prostate cancer. Thanks to google, I came into touch with Gaf Healthcare. They have arranged everything, starting from treatment plan, video consultation, airport pickup, to surgery and following up. My father was operated in Sahyadri Pune, robotic prostatectomy was done. Now he is fine.
★★★★★
The hospitality was at its point. I appreciate the great service I got from the team. Being away from Home and get the feeling like you are at home is what Gaf is doing. Thank you once more, this have lifetime memories in my life.
