Hello Mr Nayan,

I am so sorry to hear regarding your condition. Stones in the pancreas head are not very common, but do cause a lot of problems including pain, poor absorption and malnutrition and can also lead to diabetes due to pancreatic failure.
There are two ways of dealing with the stone, based on how close it is to the pancreatic duct opening. If it is close to the opening, then it could potentially be treated with endoscopic technique (ERCP). If however the stone is big, then it will necessitate surgery to remove the stone.
There are two CMC s in India. Vellore in the south and Ludhiana in the north (where Dayanand Medical College is also located). If needed I can put you in touch with the Gastro-enterologist in CMC, Ludhiana. Regarding the cost of the procedure, if it can be done endoscopically, then I would assume a total expenditure of about 35-50 thousand rupees (including the necessary scans). If Surgery is required, then the cost could be around 1.5-2 Lakhs.
Hope this helps and please do not hesitate to contact me for any other details required.
