Kyphoplasty Cost in Gurgaon, India

The cost of kyphoplasty in Gurgaon typically ranges from $8,600 to $13,500 USD (about ₹8.16 lakh to ₹12.81 lakh), depending on the hospital, room category and type of procedure.

A typical estimate for kyphoplasty in Gurgaon is around $10,000 (about ₹9.49 lakh). What you pay depends mainly on your own case. If only one level of the spine is treated and no implants are needed, your bill is likely to be closer to $8,600 (about ₹8.16 lakh). It is likely to be nearer $13,500 (about ₹12.81 lakh) if several levels are treated, screws, cages or an artificial disc are used, or you stay longer.

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

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

Kyphoplasty treats a painful spinal fracture caused by osteoporosis by inflating a small balloon inside the broken vertebra and then filling the space with bone cement.

NICE says that a balloon is placed in the broken bone and gradually inflated to restore some height, then deflated so that the space can be filled with bone cement, aiming to ease pain and reduce the forward curve of the spine.

NICE guidance TA279 says vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty may be options for severe ongoing pain after a recent, unhealed osteoporotic fracture despite pain treatment, with the painful level confirmed by examination and imaging.

Possible risks include cement leaking outside the bone, infection, bleeding and, rarely, nerve issues.

Kyphoplasty treats the fracture but not the osteoporosis behind it, so bone-strengthening treatment and falls prevention remain important.

Flying home: no aviation rule fixes a wait after spinal surgery, so the surgeon decides once you can walk well and sit for the length of the flight, and an aisle seat makes this easier.

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

• Scans and fitness tests: MRI or CT plus an anaesthetic check.
• Operating time: which grows with the number of spinal levels.
• Implants for the spine: screws, cages or a disc replacement.
• Vertebrae: how many are treated.
• Imaging: MRI or CT beforehand.
• Anaesthesia: local with sedation or general.
• Bone health: treatment afterwards.

Spine procedure costs depend on the levels treated, any implants or devices and the length of stay, so complex cases in Gurgaon can cost more than the range above.

Both orthopaedic spine surgeons and neurosurgeons operate on the spine in Gurgaon, and some units use navigation for complex cases, so ask which team and which equipment your plan uses.

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.

Gurgaon sits on the south-western edge of Delhi, a short road transfer from Indira Gandhi International Airport, which is the usual arrival point for international patients.
