Recurrent sinusitis surgery cost in India

Usually, doctors prescribe aggressive medications to control the frequency of the infection, but if the problem does not improve, they may recommend recurrent sinusitis surgery. Recurrent sinusitis is a mild form of chronic sinusitis which occurs frequently. A deviated septum, allergic responses, narrow sinus openings, and other factors commonly cause it. 

Surgical treatment remains the last option when recurrent sinusitis cannot be treated medically.  Balloon sinuplasty is a minimally invasive technique that is usually performed to treat recurrent sinusitis.

There are various factors affecting the cost of recurrent sinusitis surgery in India, such as:

Condition’s severity: The severity of the condition is one of the main factors in determining the cost of the surgery. A surgery cost may be high if the patient’s condition is more severe.  

Pre-operative tests: Generally, multiple diagnostic tests are required before proceeding with the treatment. Here are the costs of some tests mentioned below:

• X-ray: Rs. 250- Rs. 500
• Imaging tests: Rs. 1500 – Rs. 4000
• Swab test/tissue culture: Rs. 400- Rs. 1000
• Nasal Endoscopy: Rs. 1500 – Rs 2000

Surgeon fee: Experience matters a lot! So the cost of recurrent sinusitis surgery also depends on the surgeon’s skills and experience. A highly experienced surgeon charges slightly higher than less experienced ones. 

Traveling expenses: When the patient has to travel for pre-treatment consultations, follow-ups, etc., it can also inflate the cost of the surgery. 

Extra cost if there are any complications: During surgery, if any complication arises, the surgeon may alter the procedure accordingly, which impacts the final cost of the surgery.
