Cost of Stapedectomy in India

Stapedectomy is generally performed for the treatment of otosclerosis. Though its exact cause is unknown, it is generally regarded as a genetic condition and can be traced through the patient’s family history. Additionally, its incidence is quite common in women between the ages of 15 and 30 years, especially pregnant women*.

As the bone fusion progresses, the patient’s symptoms and hearing impairment also worsen. While some patients may delay their surgery, it ultimately becomes necessary if the patient exhibits the following symptoms:

• They can not hear whispered or lower-pitched sounds any longer.
• Their hearing loss is limited to one ear.
• They have severe balance issues, along with vertigo, tinnitus, and dizziness.
• Their own voice sounds very loud to them.

If you are exhibiting the given symptoms and you have someone in your family with similar hearing problems, chances are you are both suffering from otosclerosis. Connect with us to get a free consultation from the best ENT specialists near you.

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

• Choice of treatment city and hospital

Stapedectomy cost in India shows a little variation depending on the city you are getting your treatment in. In metro cities like Kolkata and Mumbai, the cost of surgery is generally higher than in non-metro cities.

Similarly, your choice of treatment city also affects your cost of hospitalization. Since the procedure may require overnight hospitalization, the type of hospital room you are admitted to also affects the overall cost of treatment.

• Post-surgical care and complications

Although safe, the success of stapedectomy surgery without any complications cannot be guaranteed. It can be associated with postoperative complications such as dizziness, loss of taste sensation (temporarily), tinnitus, complete hearing loss, etc. Proper postoperative care is required to avoid such complications.

• Surgeon fees

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

• Cost of diagnostic tests

To ensure the procedure is successful, a proper diagnosis is necessary to determine the extent of the sclerosis and the size/type of the prosthesis required. The cost of diagnostic tests usually required for stapedectomy are:

• Audiometry: Rs. 500 – Rs. 1000
• Tympanometry: Rs. 500 – Rs. 1000
• Imaging tests like CT scan: Rs. 1500 – Rs. 3500
• Insurance coverage

Stapedectomy is usually only performed for severe cases of otosclerosis, and thus, the treatment is generally covered under most health insurance policies. However, the extent of the coverage depends on the terms of the policy.
