Neurolysis Procedure Cost in Gurgaon, India

The cost of neurolysis in Gurgaon typically ranges from $1,900 to $7,000 USD (about ₹1.80 lakh to ₹6.64 lakh), depending on the hospital, room category and type of procedure.

A typical estimate for neurolysis in Gurgaon is around $3,500 (about ₹3.32 lakh). What you pay depends mainly on your own case. If the operation is planned and you need only a short stay in neuro intensive care, your bill is likely to be closer to $1,900 (about ₹1.80 lakh). It is likely to be nearer $7,000 (about ₹6.64 lakh) if the surgery is more complex, special navigation or monitoring equipment or an implanted device is used, or you need longer in intensive care.

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

• Surgeon and anaesthetist fees
• Operating theatre or procedure room
• Neuro-intensive care days
• Implants or devices used
• Hospital stay and room category
• Medicines and consumables
• Follow-up visits before you fly home

Neurolysis is a broad term for nerve procedures: surgical neurolysis frees a nerve from scar tissue, whereas chemical or heat neurolysis deliberately blocks a nerve to relieve pain.

The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH) describes neurolysis as releasing a nerve from scar tissue, for example after an injury including a knee dislocation, in an operation of one to three hours under general anaesthetic, with a nerve graft if the damage is more severe.

Because the same word also includes pain procedures, check which treatment a Gurgaon estimate is for.

RNOH points out that nerves regrow at about 1 mm a day, so improvement can take many months and full recovery up to two years.

Infection affects fewer than 1 in 100 people, and pain may increase for a short time after surgery.

Flying home: UK Civil Aviation Authority medical guidance treats 7 days after brain or nerve surgery as the shortest wait, and neurosurgeons often ask for longer.

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

• Scans before the operation: MRI, CT or an angiogram.
• Theatre, navigation and monitoring: including nerve monitoring when it is used.
• Days in neuro intensive care: after the operation is over.
• Type: surgical or for pain.
• Nerve: which one and how complex.
• Anaesthesia: local or general.
• Nerve graft: if required.

Brain and nerve surgery costs depend on complexity, intensive care and any devices used, so complex cases in Gurgaon can cost more than the range above.

Gurgaon's larger hospitals provide neurosurgery with neuro-intensive care and, in some units, intraoperative imaging or nerve monitoring, so ask which your operation will involve.

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.
