Cost Breakup of Hernia Surgery

Some of the factors that affect hernia surgery cost include-

Doctor's Consultation

As with any cost factor, your doctor's expertise and surgical experience alters your surgery cost. A specialist trained in advanced laparoscopy may charge anywhere between INR 1000- INR 1500 per consultation in Coimbatore. However, a slightly less experienced doctor may counsel for anywhere between INR 500- INR 1000. We have the best surgeon/doctor in Coimbatore who treats Hernia.

Diagnostic charges

While a physical exam is usually enough to detect a hernia, your doctor may suggest one or more imaging tests such as X-Ray, Ultrasound, MRI and CT Scan to assess the exact location and severity of your hernia. Though rare, at times, a blood test may also be suggested to assess any underlying conditions and suggest a plausible treatment method.

MRI

INR 2,500- INR 6,000

Type and Location of Hernia

Depending on its location, hernia is majorly classified into six (6) types. While a majority can be treated through a general surgeon, some may require specific expertise. Similarly, these specific types of hernia may also require more advanced diagnosis, treatment method or specific medical equipments. Based on same, here is an approximate cost for each-

Hernia Type

Surgery Cost

Inguinal Hernia

INR 80,000

Femoral Hernia

INR 75,000

Umbilical Hernia

INR 78,000

Incisional Hernia

INR 80,000

Epigastric Hernia

INR 75,000

Hiatal Hernia

INR 1,40,000

Size and Severity

As with any treatment, the size and severity of hernia play a major role in the marker of final surgery cost as it directly decides the level of surgeon expertise required, method of surgery, surgery time, and possible complications. A general estimate for hernia treatment in its initial stages runs between INR 70,000 to INR 85,000. Whereas, a more complex and last-grade treatment may range anywhere between INR 85,000 to INR 1,00,000 and more.

Age of the Patient

A hernia can happen at any age. However, hernia in infants and older ages at times require more expertise and additional care. This is why it may act as a varying factor in some cases.

Hospital Charges

The choice of your hospital almost invariably affects the total surgery cost. This is largely because of the difference in hospital's amenities, choice of operating surgeons, infrastructure, and the holistic patient experience. The choice between a single or shared, general or deluxe room also supplements the final cost.

Method of surgery

The method of surgery most certainly defines the surgery cost. As laparoscopic surgery is more advanced, and requires specialised medical tools, it costs higher than the traditional open cut surgery.

Method of Surgery

Surgery Cost

Open Surgery

INR- 55,000- INR 65,000

Laparoscopic Surgery

INR 70,000- INR 90,000

Surgical Mesh

A hernia surgical mesh is a specialised medical instrument used to provide extra support to the damaged tissue as it heals after the surgery. It is used in more than 90% of hernia repair cases and rests as an important factor for determining specific surgery cost. Factors that differ the cost of different surgical meshes may include

  1. The type of surgical mesh (patches, plugs or sheets)
  2. Long term/ Short term (Absorbable or Non Absorbable)
  3. Composition (Synthetic/ Animal Derived/ Composite)
  4. Brand Manufacturer (Local/ Home grown)

Pre and post medication and follow up

The success of a surgery almost as equally depends on the post medications and follow up as it depends on the surgery itself. This is why medications and follow up are another factor that invariably add to the total cost.

Does Insurance Cover Hernia Operation?

Yes, since hernia repair surgery falls under the list of necessary medical procedures, the basic treatment cost is covered by almost all major general and health care insurance providers in India.

However, since every policy is different and so is the individual case, the cost bracket may differ.

Please note that as with any other treatment, insurance covers only the surgical expenses and you must be hospitalized for at least 24 hours to file the claim. Depending on the nature of your policy, you may opt for cashless/ reimbursement claims.

Post approval, insurance covers all necessary costs including diagnostics, consultation, medications, hospital admission, surgery, bed charges, stay and other miscellaneous consumables.
