More affordable estimates
Competitive indicative costs compared with many other countries, for similar clinical standards.
Internationally accredited hospitals
Hospitals experienced in treating international patients.
Experienced specialists
Doctors who regularly manage similar cases.
Care coordination support
A team to help with planning, medical translation and follow-up.
About the Procedure
What is Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)?
Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) is a minimally invasive procedure that combines endoscopy with high-frequency ultrasound to obtain detailed images of the pancreas, bile ducts, and surrounding structures. In chronic pancreatitis, EUS helps confirm diagnosis, assess ductal changes and calcifications, detect complications like pseudocysts, and guide tissue sampling or therapeutic interventions. It is often preferred over other imaging modalities due to its superior resolution for pancreatic tissue.
Who may be considered?
Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
A standard EUS examination using a radial or linear echoendoscope to visualize pancreatic parenchyma, ductal architecture, and adjacent organs for diagnosis and staging of chronic pancreatitis.
3 approaches available for this procedure:
Diagnostic EUS (Radial/Linear)
Most PopularA standard EUS examination using a radial or linear echoendoscope to visualize pancreatic parenchyma, ductal architecture, and adjacent organs for diagnosis and staging of chronic pancreatitis.
Comprehensive Investigations
Estimated cost: $150 - $350
CBC, coagulation profile (PT/INR), liver function tests, serum amylase/lipase, abdominal ultrasound, contrast-enhanced CT abdomen
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Estimated cost in India: $800 - $1,500
Stay in India
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~1 day
Hospitalisation: ~1 day (day-care)
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~1-2 days recommended
Total stay: approx 2-3 days
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- Pre-procedure consultation
- Sedation/anesthesia
- EUS procedure with echoendoscope
- Recovery room monitoring
- Procedure report with images
Usually Not Included
- Hotel/accommodation for attendants
- International flights
- Additional biopsies if required
- Post-procedure medications
- Visa and travel insurance
Recovery and follow-up
Most patients recover within a few hours after diagnostic EUS and can resume normal activity the next day, while therapeutic interventions may require a few extra days of monitoring for pain control and complication surveillance. A follow-up consultation is recommended to review biopsy results or intervention outcomes.
Risks
EUS is generally safe, but potential risks include mild throat discomfort, bleeding, infection, or pancreatitis flare-up, particularly after FNA/FNB or therapeutic interventions. Serious complications such as perforation are rare but require prompt medical attention.
Alternatives
Alternative imaging options include MRCP, contrast-enhanced CT, or ERCP, though these may offer lower diagnostic accuracy for early parenchymal changes or lack the ability to obtain tissue samples. EUS remains the preferred choice when detailed pancreatic evaluation or biopsy is required.
What we need to prepare a formal estimate
Share whatever you have — the care team will confirm the final checklist after reviewing your case.
Reports required
- Recent CT or MRI/MRCP of the abdomen
- Serum amylase and lipase levels
- Liver function tests
- CBC and coagulation profile (PT/INR)
- Prior endoscopy or ERCP reports (if any)
- Tumor marker results (CA 19-9) if malignancy suspected
- List of current medications, especially blood thinners
Patient information needed
- Age, weight, and general health status
- History of alcohol use or smoking
- Duration and severity of abdominal pain
- History of diabetes or exocrine insufficiency
- Any known bleeding disorders or blood thinner use
- Previous pancreatic surgeries or interventions
- Allergies to sedatives or anesthesia
- Fasting status and diabetic medication schedule
Costs shown are indicative planning estimates based on typical pricing across leading Indian hospitals. They are not a quote — actual pricing depends on your case complexity, hospital choice, and length of stay. Share your reports for a personalized estimate.

Common questions
FAQs about Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) in Hyderabad, India
What is Chronic Pancreatitis?
Chronic pancreatitis is a condition in which sustained inflammation causes the pancreas to scar progressively over months or years, gradually reducing its ability to produce digestive enzymes and hormones such as insulin. Unlike a single episode of acute pancreatitis, the damage in chronic pancreatitis is cumulative and largely irreversible.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Chronic Pancreatitis?
The most common symptom is recurrent or constant upper abdominal pain that may radiate to the back, often worsened by eating or alcohol; some people, however, experience little or no pain even with significant glandular damage. Additional signs can include fatty, foul-smelling stools (steatorrhoea), unintended weight loss, bloating, nausea, and — if endocrine function is affected — symptoms consistent with diabetes. It is important to understand that these symptoms overlap with many other digestive conditions, and symptoms alone are not sufficient to establish a diagnosis.
How is Chronic Pancreatitis diagnosed?
Assessment typically begins with a detailed history covering alcohol use, smoking, family history, previous episodes of acute pancreatitis, and any autoimmune or metabolic conditions, followed by physical examination. Imaging — most commonly CT scanning, MRI with MRCP, or Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) — is central to diagnosis, as it can reveal characteristic changes such as pancreatic duct dilation, calcifications, parenchymal atrophy, and strictures; EUS is particularly valuable for detecting early or subtle changes. Laboratory tests (fecal elastase, serum lipase, HbA1c, IgG4, and others) and, in selected cases, functional tests or tissue sampling contribute to a full picture that a clinician will interpret in the context of your individual history.
How is Chronic Pancreatitis treated?
Management of chronic pancreatitis is tailored to the pattern and severity of each person's disease and typically involves a combination of lifestyle modification, medical therapy, nutritional support, and — where structural problems are causing symptoms or complications — endoscopic or surgical intervention. Endoscopic procedures such as Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)-guided therapy and biliary or pancreatic stent placement can relieve duct obstruction, drain pseudocysts, or manage bile duct complications, offering meaningful symptom relief in carefully selected patients. In more advanced or refractory cases, surgical options including drainage procedures or, rarely, resection may be considered; the right approach depends on an individualised assessment by a specialist team.
Can Chronic Pancreatitis be treated without a procedure?
Non-procedural care is a meaningful and often first-line pathway for many people with chronic pancreatitis and includes strict alcohol and tobacco cessation (both of which are strongly linked to disease progression), a low-fat diet, pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) to address malabsorption, pain management, and blood sugar control if diabetes has developed. Nutritional support — sometimes delivered enterally — may be required if oral intake is severely compromised. While lifestyle and medical management can stabilise symptoms and slow progression in some patients, they do not reverse established scarring, and the need for procedural intervention is reassessed regularly.
When is Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) considered for Chronic Pancreatitis?
Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) may be considered only when it is appropriate for the confirmed diagnosis and the expected benefit outweighs the individual risks. The decision may depend on symptom severity, investigation results, previous treatment, overall health and the patient's goals. A specialist should discuss alternatives and recovery before any procedure is planned.
Which doctor treats Chronic Pancreatitis?
Chronic pancreatitis is primarily managed by a gastroenterologist with experience in pancreatic disease, often working alongside a hepatobiliary or pancreatic surgeon, a dietitian specialising in gastrointestinal conditions, and an endocrinologist if diabetes is present. Complex or uncertain cases may benefit from review at a specialist pancreatic centre where multidisciplinary input is available.
How do I choose a doctor for Chronic Pancreatitis?
When comparing providers, look for a gastroenterologist or hepatobiliary team with documented experience in pancreatic endoscopy (including EUS and stenting) and access to a multidisciplinary panel that includes surgery, nutrition, and endocrinology, as chronic pancreatitis often requires coordinated long-term care across more than one specialty. It is also worth asking about the centre's follow-up protocols and their approach to monitoring for complications such as pancreatic duct changes or cancer surveillance.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a concise medical summary, symptom timeline, previous diagnoses, investigation and imaging reports, procedure or biopsy reports where relevant, current medicines, allergies and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translations when needed. The reviewing doctor may request additional information before giving an opinion.
How does GAF Healthcare help international patients plan treatment in India?
Our care coordination team can review the initial information, help identify suitable doctors and hospitals, request a medical opinion where available, explain next steps and indicative cost information, and support practical planning before travel. A remote opinion does not replace an in-person examination or emergency care.
