Bilateral Hip Replacement Cost in Gurgaon, India

The cost of bilateral hip replacement in Gurgaon typically ranges from $4,900 to $7,500 USD (about ₹4.65 lakh to ₹7.11 lakh), depending on the hospital, room category and type of procedure.

A typical estimate for bilateral hip replacement in Gurgaon is around $5,500 (about ₹5.22 lakh). What you pay depends mainly on your own case. If a standard implant is used and you stay in a shared room, your bill is likely to be closer to $4,900 (about ₹4.65 lakh). It is likely to be nearer $7,500 (about ₹7.11 lakh) if a specialised implant is used, both sides are treated, it is a repeat operation or you choose a private room.

When comparing Gurgaon packages for bilateral hip replacement, check whether each quote includes:

• Surgeon and anaesthetist fees
• Operating theatre or procedure room
• Implants, plates or screws
• Physiotherapy
• Hospital stay and room category
• Medicines and consumables
• Follow-up visits before you fly home

Bilateral hip replacement replaces both hip joints, either in one operation or in two stages, when arthritis or other damage affects both hips.

When both hips are badly damaged, replacing only one may not restore walking well, because the other is still painful.

A Hertfordshire and West Essex NHS policy points out that simultaneous surgery takes longer and may raise the complication risk and lengthen rehabilitation, suggesting staged surgery may be lower risk for older people and those with heart conditions, although a review of 13 studies was inconclusive.

Recovery after replacing both hips may take longer than after one, and physiotherapy matters a great deal.

Possible risks include blood clots, infection, dislocation and a difference in leg length.

Flying home: aviation guidance sets no single wait for bone and joint operations, but leg surgery makes clots on long flights more likely, so ask how to prevent them; UK Civil Aviation Authority medical guidance suggests 24 to 48 hours after a plaster cast.

A Gurgaon quote for bilateral hip replacement is normally made up of these items:

• Tests before the operation: X-rays, other scans and an anaesthetic check.
• Theatre and anaesthetic: charged mainly by operating time.
• Rehabilitation: physiotherapy on the ward and once you leave.
• Timing: same day or staged.
• Implant: type and brand.
• Stay: longer than for one hip.
• Physiotherapy: intensive.

Ask each Gurgaon hospital for an itemised estimate showing any implant, surgeon, theatre, stay and physiotherapy, so offers can be compared fairly.

Orthopaedic departments in Gurgaon cover joint replacement, arthroscopy and trauma, usually with in-house physiotherapy so that patients start moving soon after surgery.

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.

Gurgaon is part of Delhi NCR, where India's first hospital to gain Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation did so in 2005, and JCI publishes a searchable list of the organisations it currently accredits.
