orchidopexy Cost in United Arab Emirates

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

Orchidopexy brings an undescended testicle down into the scrotum and fixes it there, usually in young boys. In the UAE, the price depends on:

• Open or keyhole: keyhole for testicles inside the abdomen.
• One or two stages
• Paediatric anaesthesia
• Follow-up

University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust describes open or keyhole surgery under general anaesthetic. Some boys need two operations about six months apart.

Children go home once eating, drinking and passing urine. Stitches dissolve in two to three weeks. UCLH advises no straddle toys for two weeks, no swimming for three and no sport for three to four; school is usually possible after a week.

Coverage for children's surgery depends on the plan's terms; planned surgery needs prior approval.
