The gastric sleeve surgery has been a major turning point in my health journey. The care team at Sikarin and my medi travel was incredibly supportive throughout the whole thing. As scary as it was traveling to bangkok from australia, they all made me feel safe and answered all my questions to put my mind at ease
I recently visited Bangpakok 9 International Hospital and I was very impressed. The staff was friendly and professional. The location was convenient and the facilities were modern and well-maintained. Overall, I had a great experience and would highly recommend this hospital.
Newly opened hospital with great services for chronic diseases. Hospital provides IVF and IVN
Our experience with IVF at Bangkok Hospital Bangkok was great and they made it clear what our expectations should be from the beginning. The fertility specialists and staff provided us with personalized care and support throughout. Their tech is really advanced, we hadnt seen some of this stuff in Aus and we have no doubt this contributed to our successful treatment. We are now expecting our first child and are so grateful to everyone at the hospital for making our dream of becoming parents a reality.
The examination process was smooth and efficient. Several reviews mentioned minimal wait times and a streamlined procedure.
Great experience! The medical team was very knowledgeable, and the nurses were so caring.

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a procedure to diagnose and treat problems of the bile and pancreatic duct by combining upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and X-rays. For diagnostic purposes, the procedure is performed to find the cause of obstructive jaundice, chronic pancreatitis, and pancreatic tumor. For therapeutic purposes, the procedure can be performed to extract gallstones or other biliary debris, to treat the sphincter of Oddi (endoscopic sphincterotomy), to insert a stent into the common bile duct and/or the pancreatic duct, and to dilate the strictures.
Most of ERCP are carried out under local anesthetic, but in some cases, you may receive a general anesthetic. Your doctor inserts the endoscope (a long flexible tube with light and camera on its end) through your mouth and down to the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine. Then, your doctor passes a tube through the endoscope and injects a dye, which will highlight the organ on the X-ray.
You can leave the hospital on the same day of the procedure or you may need to stay overnight. You’ll likely discuss the result of the diagnosis once you regained consciousness or the next day of the procedure. Plan to stay in Thailand for 2 to 3 days to allow for a recovery period.
You must rest for at least 24 hours and you should be able to resume your normal activities the next day after the surgery, but make sure to take things easy for a couple of days.
You will need to avoid strenuous activities for several days and follow a special diet during your recovery period. Your doctor will give you instructions on how to care for yourself after the procedure.
ECRP is safe and effective. However, it has been estimated that the procedure carries around 3.5 to 5 percent risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP). Other side effects and risks associated with ECRP include infection of the gallbladder or the bile duct, excessive bleeding (hemorrhage), perforation in the pancreatic or bile ducts, tissue damage from X-ray exposure, and an abnormal reaction to the sedative. Complications occur in about 5 to 10 percent of all ERCP procedures.
If ERCP is not the right procedure for you, your alternatives include endoscopic ultrasound, CT Scan, and MRI or MRCP (a special MRI of the bile ducts).
The result of ERCP will help your doctor confirm their diagnosis about your health problem, which will help them consider the best treatment option for you.
