Balloon Sinuplasty Cost in Gurgaon, India

The cost of balloon sinuplasty in Gurgaon typically ranges from $620 to $6,000 USD (about ₹58,800 to ₹5.69 lakh), depending on the hospital, room category and type of procedure.

A typical estimate for balloon sinuplasty in Gurgaon is around $2,000 (about ₹1.90 lakh). What you pay depends mainly on your own case. If one area is treated and you go home the same day, your bill is likely to be closer to $620 (about ₹58,800). It is likely to be nearer $6,000 (about ₹5.69 lakh) if several procedures are combined, the operation takes longer, you stay overnight or you choose a more senior surgeon.

When comparing Gurgaon packages for balloon sinuplasty, check whether each quote includes:

• Surgeon and anaesthetist fees
• Operating theatre or procedure room
• Dressings, splints or garments
• GST
• Hospital stay and room category
• Medicines and consumables
• Follow-up visits before you fly home

Balloon sinuplasty widens the natural drainage openings of the sinuses using a small balloon passed up the nose, to treat long-term sinusitis.

NICE guidance IPG273 judges the evidence on short-term efficacy of balloon sinus dilation to be adequate with no major safety concerns, but says long-term outcomes are still required, and the technique is not used for the ethmoid sinuses.

It advises that only surgeons experienced in complex sinus surgery and trained in the technique should carry it out.

Balloon sinuplasty is used for chronic sinusitis that has not responded to medical treatment and, in selected cases, for recurrent acute sinusitis.

Widespread polyps or ethmoid disease typically need endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) instead.

Flying home: aviation guidance does not cover cosmetic surgery, so wait for the surgeon's wound check before flying and get up to walk regularly during the flight.

A Gurgaon quote for balloon sinuplasty is normally made up of these items:

• Tests before surgery: bloods, an ECG and an anaesthetic check.
• Theatre and anaesthesia: set mostly by operating time.
• Surgeon's fees: which vary with experience.
• Tax: GST can appear on the bill, since cosmetic surgery sits outside the healthcare exemption.
• Sinuses treated: one or several.
• Anaesthesia: local or general.
• Balloon device: a single-use system.
• Day case: normally.

Ask the Gurgaon hospital whether the quote includes the anaesthetist, the hearing or pathology tests and the post-operative clinic appointments.

Gurgaon has plastic surgery services in both hospitals and day-care clinics, and for anything under general anaesthesia an on-site intensive care unit adds a margin of safety.

NABH, the hospital accreditation board of the Quality Council of India whose standards carry ISQua accreditation, sets the national benchmark for hospitals, and its online directory shows whether a Gurgaon hospital's accreditation is still current.

Before booking cosmetic surgery in Gurgaon, check that the surgeon is listed on the National Medical Commission's Indian Medical Register and ask for their medical council registration number.
