Peptic ulcers are open sores in the lining of the stomach or the first part of the small intestine. Most heal on medication. The ones that do not (those that bleed, perforate, or scar down until the stomach cannot empty) are what surgery is for.
At Lux Hospitals, peptic ulcer surgery costs between ₹1,00,000 and ₹2,00,000. Whether it is a planned operation or an emergency one is the biggest single difference between two cases.
Quoted as one band, because the operation depends entirely on what the ulcer has done. Closing a perforation, controlling a bleeding vessel and bypassing a scarred outlet are three different procedures done for three different emergencies.
₹1,00,000–₹2,00,000
estimated surgery cost
A contained perforation closed laparoscopically is a very different operation from a major bleed needing resuscitation and transfusion first.
An emergency carries out-of-hours theatre staffing and, often, a period in intensive care. A planned operation is worked up in advance and costs less for it.
Endoscopy is both diagnosis and, for many bleeding ulcers, the first treatment. Where it succeeds, surgery may be avoided altogether, and that is the cheaper outcome as well as the better one.
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.

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 plans cover it where medically necessary, emergency admissions included. Our team handles verification and cashless claim support.
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.
A complicated ulcer is an emergency, and what decides the outcome is how quickly it is recognised and how completely it is dealt with.
It depends on what was done and how unwell you were on arrival. Most patients stay several days after surgery.
