Orchidectomy Cost in United Arab Emirates

The cost of orchidectomy in the UAE typically ranges from $2,000 to $18,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.

An orchidectomy removes a testicle. A radical orchidectomy, done through the groin, is the standard first step when testicular cancer is suspected. In the UAE, the price depends on:

• Approach: groin (radical) or scrotal.
• Prosthesis: optional, inserted at the same time.
• Anaesthesia: general.
• Pathology

University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust describes removal of the whole testicle through a groin incision under general anaesthetic, taking about 30 minutes, usually as a day case. A prosthesis can be placed through the same incision.

Stitches dissolve in two to three weeks; showering is possible after 48 hours. Heavy lifting and contact sport are avoided for about two weeks. Bruising, swelling, infection and implant problems are possible.

Coverage for cancer surgery depends on the insurance plan's terms and limits, and planned surgery needs prior approval under basic UAE plans.
