Spine Surgery Cost in India Cost
Spine surgery is one of the most complex and complicated medical procedures performed to manage the wide spectrum of spinal diseases and abnormalities of the spine and spinal cord. Spinal surgery is usually performed for following three purposes:
- To reduce deformity
- To stabilize a painful segment
- To decompress the nerves of spinal cord
The cost of spine surgery is an extremely important factor that you need to consider while deciding for your surgery. If you are not insured or even partially insured for your spinal procedure & need to shell out the money from your pocket, it is next to impossible for a common man to get the procedure in a developed country like the US or UK.
Spine surgery treatment in India is almost a sixth of the cost of spine surgery in the USA, UK or Europe even with finest quality implants, prosthesis and consumables.
Here’s the list of few most commonly performed spinal surgery procedures in India and their cost:
| Procedure | Stay at Hospital (Days) | Stay in India (Week) | Approx Cost ($) | Appendix Operation | 3-4 | 2 | 500-1000 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nissen fundoplication | 3-4 | 4 | 500-1000 |
| Hemorrhoidectomy | 500-1000 | 500-1000 | 500-1000 |
| Inguinal Hernia | 7-8 | 3 | 500-1000 |
| Gallbladder Removal | 7-8 | 5 | 500-1000 |
| Whipple’s Surgery | 7-8 | 2 | 500-1000 |
The cost quoted above is indicative and should not be taken as the final cost of the surgery. The final cost can be ascertained after the surgeon has evaluated the patient. The cost in Indian Rupees can vary based on exchange rate.

When is Spine Surgery required ?
There can be several reasons for one to seek spine surgery when other interventions like medications and exercises have not been successful.
Normal Function Prevented
Advancing age decreases the proper functioning and mobility of the spine that hinders the body’s normal functioning. This can be improved with spinal surgery.
Failure of Other Treatments
Non-surgical interventions such as physiotherapy, medication and exercises are not always successful in alleviating painful symptoms. Spine surgery can be the solution to such patients.
Quality of Life
The symptoms of spine problems like mobility limitations and pain can be a great disadvantage to the patients and prevent them from living a normal and happy life. Spinal surgery can relieve these symptoms forever in most cases and give a good quality of life.
Injury
In cases of severe injury there is least chance of successful treatment with other methods other than spinal surgery.
Deformity
Spinal deformities like scoliosis and other such deformities unless treated very early with physiotherapy and braces cannot be corrected without spinal surgery at later stages.
Nerve Damage
Spinal problems can lead to nerve damage and permanent disability unless the nerve is decompressed and corrected through surgery to relieve the symptoms.
Progression of Spinal Problems
Spinal conditions such as osteoporosis and nerve symptoms worsen with time unless treated properly. Progression can lead to disability, increased symptoms and complete shut-down of organ systems.

5. Would you do tests on me before my spine surgery in India?
Yes, almost all spine surgery patients undergo MRI and other advanced investigations before any spinal surgery. Other tests are also performed before any anesthesia is given. This includes:
Blood tests to evaluate chemistries, blood count and blood type.
Chest X-ray to evaluate lungs and heart size.
6. Would I have severe pain after the operation?
You will experience pain and discomfort after the operation which shall be controlled with medications. You shall be at the hospital for 3-7 days, depending on the type and technique of the surgery, so that the acute recovery phase is over and you are comfortable and can be on your own at the time of discharge from the hospital.
7. Is spine surgery the only option for my back pain? Are there no alternatives?
There are other non surgical treatment options which include Lumbar and Cervical Facet Injections, Radiofrequency Ablation, Epidural Injections, Sympathetic Blocks and Spinal Cord Stimulators.
Surgery is often considered as the last resort when other options have failed to work or do not provide the kind of relief a patient is looking for.
Besides, there are Ayurveda treatment options which have worked wonderfully well with few. You can discuss the option with your case manager and we shall advise you of the options accordingly.
Whether or not you want to undergo the surgery depends on your goals and priorities. Some people find it very hassling to visit a practitioner for injections every now and then and want pain relief once and for all. Surgery is the best choice for them. While some others feel very intrigued with the idea of undergoing a knife and feel at ease with pain management only.
You can explore different options by consulting our expert surgeons and doctors.
8. Which type of spine surgery is most suited for me?
The surgeon would suggest you the most suitable option depending on your age, pain, medical history and the medical condition.
You will not need nursing care after you are discharged from the hospital. A stay of 5-6 days at the hospital would be enough for you to recover and stay at the hotel without the nursing care. However, if your treating doctor feels that you still need medical supervision, he would advise you to extend the stay at the hospital at some extra cost.
10. When can I return to work following spine surgery in India?
Returning to work is an individualistic thing and depends on your profession. Desk or sitting activities can be resumed after about 3-4 weeks of surgery, while physically active jobs should wait for 8-10 weeks.
