Prices in the “Ukraine” column come from MediUkraine’s partner clinics. The Czech Republic and Turkey columns show the lower bounds of prices published by clinics there (for Turkey, also the Turkish Dental Association’s recommended 2026 tariff), collected in August 2026 and converted to US dollars at the rate on the day of collection. A dash means we could not find a comparable published price. In any country, the final cost is set by the clinic after an examination.
Bleeding is stopped with the same instrument that detects it: a flexible tube with a camera enters the oesophagus, stomach or colon naturally, the doctor examines the mucosa and works straight away with an instrument passed through the endoscope's working channel. So diagnosis and treatment fit into one procedure: from the moment the source of blood loss is found to the moment it is sealed takes minutes, not hours of preparation for abdominal surgery.
The main advantage of endoscopic control of bleeding is minimal trauma and a quick return of normal body functions. Thanks to precise endoscopic access, the doctor finds the source of blood loss even in hard-to-reach places and uses one of the haemostasis methods: clipping, coagulation or injection of medicines. A planned procedure can often be done on an outpatient basis, while acute bleeding requires observation in hospital; after a planned procedure you return to your normal life within 1–2 days.
Fine endoscopic instruments are used that do not damage healthy tissue. High-definition video shows exactly the affected area, so the doctor works precisely: stops the bleeding and secures the vessel to reduce the chance of it recurring. This approach lowers the risk of complications and avoids the need for open surgery.
In acute conditions every hour counts: the sooner you reach an endoscopy unit, the less blood you lose. So if you vomit blood or pass black stools, the next step is not watching at home but calling emergency services and having an urgent gastroscopy at the nearest hospital. For planned procedures, MediUkraine connects you with the partner clinic in Uzhhorod, where such procedures are performed according to international protocols, with full anaesthetic support and personal monitoring afterwards.
Travel. Ukrainian airspace is closed, so there are no commercial flights. Uzhhorod lies right on the border with Slovakia and close to Hungary, so patients usually arrive overland from one of these two countries, by car, bus or train.
Visas. Citizens of the EU, the United Kingdom and the United States do not need a visa for short stays in Ukraine. Rules depend on your citizenship, so check your own before booking.
Safety, plainly. Ukraine is at war. Air raid alerts occur across the country, including in Uzhhorod, and an appointment can be interrupted by one. Several governments advise against travel to Ukraine, and while that advice stands, ordinary travel and medical insurance is often void — confirm your cover with your insurer before you commit to anything.
Language. MediUkraine handles correspondence, scheduling, the written treatment plan and the quote in English. The clinic's team communicates with international patients in English.
Payment. You pay the clinic directly. Our coordination service is free of charge for you.

Methods of endoscopic control of bleeding are chosen individually, depending on the location of the source, the intensity of blood loss and your condition. Endoscopy combines diagnosis and treatment within one procedure, which is especially important for acute bleeding in the stomach or intestine or after surgery.
Mechanical, thermal and injection methods of haemostasis are used most often.
Mechanical methods involve placing special clips or ligatures directly on the bleeding vessel. This gives a quick stop to the bleeding with a low risk of recurrence.
Thermal methods (electrocoagulation, argon plasma coagulation, laser therapy) use heat to "seal" the vessel and reduce blood loss.
Injection methods involve injecting solutions that cause the vessel to constrict or increase blood clotting.
In complex cases the doctor combines several techniques, which improves the effectiveness of treatment even with heavy bleeding. The equipment shows the area in real time, so the approach can be adjusted during the procedure itself.
Minimal trauma is the main practical advantage: no incisions are needed, the procedure takes 20–60 minutes and is often done as an outpatient procedure. You return to normal life within a few days, without a long hospital stay. MediUkraine connects you with the partner clinic in Uzhhorod, where such procedures are performed by experienced endoscopists according to international protocols, with full anaesthetic support and monitoring afterwards.
After endoscopic control of bleeding you remain under observation: in the first hours mild discomfort, weakness or dizziness are possible; this is the body's usual reaction to the procedure and sedation. For a few days you are advised to avoid physical exertion, overheating and alcohol so as not to trigger repeat bleeding.
The recovery time depends on the severity of your condition and where the bleeding was. Usually the hospital stay lasts from a few hours to 1 day. If you feel well, you return to your usual activities after 2–3 days, but the doctor decides on full activity after a follow-up check.
After the procedure it is important to stay hydrated: drink enough water, limit spicy and coarse food, and stop smoking. Short walks help circulation, while the gym, a steam bath or a sauna are only allowed with your doctor's approval.
If weakness, vomiting with blood, black stools or dizziness appear, seek medical help immediately for a repeat examination. The MediUkraine team arranges the follow-up check and stays in touch with the doctor until you are cleared to return to your usual activities.
Stopping the blood loss is half the task; the other half is preserving the integrity of the tissues and the function of the organ. For patients who need urgent help or have chronic mucosal damage, it is important to choose a technique with minimal risk of injury. Clips, an argon plasma coagulator or injection solutions control bleeding without open surgery and quickly stabilise your condition.
The method is chosen individually, depending on the source of bleeding: a vessel, an ulcer or post-operative damage. Before the procedure the doctor assesses your general condition, blood clotting, haemoglobin level and any coexisting conditions. If needed, a combined approach is used: first an injection to reduce pressure in the vessel, then coagulation or a clip for definitive haemostasis.
Not every patient needs a procedure straight away. If the bleeding is minor, observation or conservative treatment are possible. The final decision is made after endoscopic diagnosis and laboratory tests. MediUkraine connects you with the partner clinic in Uzhhorod, where the procedure is performed by experienced endoscopists according to international protocols, with precision and monitoring of your condition at every stage.
When planning endoscopic control of bleeding, count not only the procedure itself but the full range of costs: tests, anaesthesia, medicines, the hospital stay and monitoring afterwards. In Ukraine this care is among the more affordable in Europe: high standards of treatment are combined with a reasonable price.
The cost of endoscopic haemostasis in Ukraine is lower than in EU countries or Turkey. The reason is the lower cost of medical services, rent, consumables and salaries. At the same time, private clinics often offer transparent packages without hidden charges. In addition, thanks to minimally invasive technologies you often stay in hospital no longer than a day, which noticeably lowers the final cost of treatment.
At the same time, a lower price does not mean lower safety standards: endoscopic procedures are performed according to international protocols, with sterility, anaesthetic support and monitoring. The doctors have extensive experience with such procedures, with predictable results and a low complication rate.
It is a well-established procedure with a generally low risk, which the doctor will discuss with you in advance. At the partner clinic in Uzhhorod endoscopic control of bleeding is performed according to European safety standards, with full anaesthetic support, infection control and monitoring after the procedure. It is a routine procedure with a short hospital stay or even on an outpatient basis, so its course is predictable and comfortable for you.
Endoscopic haemostasis uses modern endoscopic systems, argon plasma coagulators, clips and injection agents. This makes it possible to locate the source of bleeding precisely and deal with it straight away without open surgery.
When choosing a clinic, look at the doctor's experience, the number of procedures performed and adherence to international protocols. MediUkraine assesses the partner clinic on verified patient reviews, quality of communication and transparency of the estimate.
📍 Uzhhorod, Ukraine
A multidisciplinary hospital in Uzhhorod, part of a network of medical facilities in western Ukraine: an outpatient clinic, a surgical centre covering 15 specialties and a 30-bed inpatient unit. Its 52 doctors include professors and PhDs; many operations are done as day surgery, with discharge after 1–2 days.
Endoscopic control of bleeding is a minimally invasive procedure in which the doctor uses an endoscope to find the source of bleeding in the stomach, intestine or other organs and seals it without open surgery. Clips, injection solutions, argon plasma coagulation or thermal coagulation are used for this.
The procedure in Ukraine costs from USD 301 (for intestinal bleeding, excluding consumable kits), several times less than in EU countries or Turkey. The price depends on the complexity of the case, the type of equipment and the level of the clinic. MediUkraine prepares a personal estimate without hidden charges.
Citizens of most European countries, the USA, Canada, Israel, Turkey and some Asian countries can enter Ukraine without a visa for up to 90 days. Check the current entry rules for your country before you travel.
The procedure is suitable for patients with acute or chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, post-operative complications or vascular conditions. The doctor makes the final decision after diagnosis and an endoscopic examination.
Depending on the source of bleeding, the following are used:
mechanical methods (endoclips, ligatures),
injection methods (adrenaline solutions, saline),
thermal methods (argon plasma or contact coagulation).
These methods are often combined, which makes haemostasis more reliable.
After an endoscopic procedure you are usually observed for a few hours or one day. You can return to your normal life after 1–3 days, provided you follow the doctor's advice on diet and physical activity.
The procedure does not usually have a negative effect on digestive function or general health. On the contrary, timely endoscopic treatment prevents serious complications: anaemia, repeat bleeding and abdominal surgery. At the partner clinic in Uzhhorod the procedure is performed by experienced specialists, and safety is ensured by following protocols and monitoring your condition.
