Laminectomy Cost in India - Lowest Cost Estimate

If you are considering laminectomy surgery and want to know the cost, you should consider the following factors while calculating the overall cost of the procedure:

• • Hospitalization fees: Most patients can go home around 1-2 days after laminectomy procedure. The overall hospitalization fees includes the rent for the hospital room and ICU admission for the duration of your hospital stay, operation theater rent, etc. Your hospitalization cost may also differ based on the city where you’re getting the treatment, as hospitalization may be more expensive in metro cities as compared to tertiary cities.

• Experience of the surgeon: Laminectomy is a delicate procedure and the surgeon has to ensure there is no nerve damage to the spine. Therefore, it should be performed by an expert and experienced orthopedic surgeon to ensure the success of the procedure.

• Cost of medicines and assistive devices required after the surgery: After laminectomy, patients may need medications to manage their pain, along with assistive devices like crutches, walkers, etc. The medicines and assistive devices are necessary to help manage pain and aid recovery.

• Management of post-surgery complications: If the patient has any pre-existing health problems such as uncontrolled diabetes, hypertension, etc., then the chances of postoperative complications are higher. The cost of the surgery may be higher, if they have complications during or after the surgery.
• Rehabilitation and physical therapy costs: Most patients require a minimum of 6 weeks physiotherapy after the surgery. Physiotherapy is necessary as it helps the patient adjust to effects of the surgery in the future.

Most health insurance policies cover treatments that have been deemed medically necessary. Since laminectomy is only performed in cases where the patient has severe spine issues and conservative management is no longer effective, it is generally covered under insurance.

The overall coverage may differ from policy to policy, depending on the policy terms and premium. If you are in doubt, you can reach out to your insurance provider for further clearance.
