A pancreatic pseudocyst is a collection of fluid that forms beside the pancreas, usually weeks after an attack of pancreatitis or an injury. Many resolve on their own. The ones that grow, press on the stomach, become infected or bleed are the ones that need draining.
At Lux Hospitals, pancreatic pseudocyst surgery costs between ₹1,00,000 and ₹2,00,000, depending on the size and position of the collection and whether it can be drained endoscopically or needs an operation.
One band, covering both routes. Endoscopic drainage through the wall of the stomach avoids an operation entirely and is what most suitable collections get; surgical drainage is for the ones the endoscope cannot reach or safely handle.

estimated surgery cost
A collection needs a mature wall before it can be drained safely, which is why timing matters as much as size, and why waiting is sometimes the right advice.
An endoscopic cystogastrostomy avoids an operation and a stay. Where the anatomy or the contents rule that out, surgical drainage is the safer route and costs more.
A clear fluid collection drains easily. One full of necrotic debris needs repeated clearance sessions, and that is what pushes a case to the top of the band.
A shared ward, a twin-sharing room or a private suite: the largest single swing in most estimates, and the one thing on this list you choose rather than are assigned.
A longer operation spends more theatre time and more of the anaesthetist’s, and a consultant with more years behind the procedure is charged at a higher rate.
Local, spinal or general. Which one your case needs is a clinical decision, not a preference, and it moves both the drug cost and how long you are monitored afterwards.
We are empanelled with most major insurers and file the pre-authorisation for you, so what is left to pay yourself is known before admission rather than at discharge.
Which of these apply to you is settled at the consultation. Until a surgeon has seen you and your reports, any figure (here or anywhere else) is a range rather than your bill.

| Pancreatic Pseudocyst Surgery | ₹1,00,000 – ₹2,00,000 |
Every figure above is an indicative range, not a quote. After your consultation you are given a written, fixed-cost estimate, and that is the number you pay, with no additions once treatment begins.
The figure quoted to you is what leaving the hospital costs, not what entering it does. Everything below is inside it.
Important: Anything outside this list is told to you before it is done, not billed afterwards. If your case needs something the estimate did not allow for, you are asked first.
Your final bill may change if you need additional tests, a procedure for another condition, a longer hospital stay, extra medicines or follow-up care beyond what your estimate includes.
Ask the billing team which charges are included and which may be added based on your treatment needs.
Yes, most health insurance policies cover medically necessary pancreatic pseudocyst treatment. We assist with verification and cashless claims.
Coverage depends on your policy, the treatment approved and the insurer or TPA. Contact the Lux Hospitals insurance desk to check eligibility and understand any expected out-of-pocket cost.
Two things decide the outcome here: whether the collection is drained at the right moment, and whether it is drained by the least invasive route that will work.
Typically a few days to a week, depending on the procedure and how the collection responds. Endoscopic drainage generally means a shorter stay than surgical drainage.
