Cost Of Tonsillectomy In India

The cost of tonsillectomy in India depends on a variety of factors such as:

Choice of treatment city and hospital

The cost of tonsillectomy in a metro city may be slightly higher than in a non-metro city. Similarly, the cost of hospitalization depends on the type of the hospital and hospital room chosen by the patient. While the procedure can be performed outpatient, the patient may be hospitalized in severe cases.

Type of treatment

The total cost of tonsillectomy treatment also depends on the type of surgery being performed. Generally, the surgical technique is selected based on the severity of the condition, patient’s age, surgeon and patient preference, etc.

Patient’s age and health condition

The type of surgical treatment chosen for tonsil removal depends heavily on the patient’s age and health condition, for example, laser or cauterization tonsillectomy is preferred in patients with compromised health conditions as they have fewer postoperative complications.

Post-surgical care and complications

Although safe, tonsillectomy is a major surgery and can cause postoperative complications such as pain, nausea, airway obstruction, bleeding, etc. Proper postoperative care is a must to ensure such complications do not occur.

Surgeon fees

The surgeon’s consultation and operative fees depends on their expertise and experience. An experienced surgeon has more chances of successfully completing the treatment without any complications.

Cost of diagnostic tests

Before tonsillectomy procedure proper diagnostic tests such as endoscopy, tissue swab and imaging tests (such as X-ray, HRCT, etc.) are required to form an accurate diagnostic plan. Generally, the cost of diagnostic tests before the surgery ranges from Rs. 5000 to Rs. 8000. The cost of diagnostic tests for tonsillectomy is as follows:

• X-ray: Rs. 250- Rs. 500
• Lab tests: Rs. 1500 – Rs. 2000
• Endoscopy: Rs. 1500 – Rs. 2000
• HRCT (High-Resolution Computed Tomography): Rs. 2000- Rs. 3000
