A typical estimate for LEEP in Gurgaon is around $3,500 (about ₹3.32 lakh). What you pay depends mainly on your own case.

It is likely to be nearer $7,000 (about ₹6.64 lakh) if you need open or robotic surgery, your condition is more complex, you stay longer or you choose a private room.

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

• Surgeon and anaesthetist fees
• Operating theatre or procedure room
• Laboratory tests on removed tissue
• Hospital stay and room category
• Medicines and consumables
• Follow-up visits before you fly home

LEEP (loop electrosurgical excision procedure), also known as LLETZ, takes away abnormal cells from the cervix with a thin heated wire loop, normally after an abnormal screening result.

LEEP treats precancerous changes found through cervical screening and colposcopy. The British Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (BSCCP) says the majority of people are cured by the first treatment, a few need a second and very few need more surgery.

The taken out tissue goes to the lab for testing.

BSCCP describes local anaesthetic injected into the cervix and a procedure of about 15 to 20 minutes; bleeding and discharge may come and go for up to 4 to 6 weeks, and sex and tampons are avoided for 4 to 6 weeks.

BSCCP notes a small risk of late miscarriage or premature birth, depending on how much tissue is taken and how many treatments are required.

Flying home: there is no aviation figure for this procedure, so book after the surgeon's review and ask how to lower clot risk on a long flight.

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

• Pre-operative tests: blood work, imaging and an anaesthetic assessment.
• Theatre and anaesthesia charges: mostly set by time in the operating room.
• Consultant fees: which differ from one hospital to the next.
• Type of operation: open, keyhole or robotic where there is a choice.
• Setting: outpatient colposcopy clinic.
• Anaesthesia: local, whereas awake.
• Lab testing: of the taken out tissue.
• Follow-up: cervical test at about six months.

Ask the Gurgaon hospital whether the quote includes the anaesthetist, the scan or biopsy results, medicines and the post-operative review.

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 was officially renamed Gurugram by the Haryana government in 2016, so hospital letters, maps and taxi apps may use either name.
