A typical estimate for pelvic reconstructive surgery in Chennai is around $2,850 (about ₹2.70 lakh). What you pay depends mainly on your own case. If your operation is planned, done by keyhole or a standard method, and you go home after a short stay, your bill is likely to be closer to $1,550 (about ₹1.47 lakh). It is likely to be nearer $5,750 (about ₹5.45 lakh) if you need open or robotic surgery, your condition is more complex, you stay longer or you choose a private room.

When comparing Chennai packages for pelvic reconstructive surgery, 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

Pelvic reconstructive surgery repairs and supports the pelvic organs, such as the bladder, womb or bowel, when they have dropped into the vagina (pelvic organ prolapse).

The NHS makes clear that surgery is an option for more severe prolapse, to lift and support the pelvic organs, after pelvic floor exercises, lifestyle changes and vaginal pessaries have frequently been tried, with the decision taking account of age, health and plans for children.

Operations include front or back wall repair, vaginal hysterectomy for prolapse of the womb, and sacrocolpopexy or sacrohysteropexy to support the upper end of the vagina or the womb.

Recovery generally means avoiding heavy lifting for a number of weeks, and risks include bleeding, infection, bladder or bowel difficulties, pain during sex and the prolapse coming back.

The NHS observes that vaginal mesh is no longer used in the NHS unless there is no alternative, so it makes sense to ask whether mesh is planned.

Fitness to fly: there is no aviation figure specific to this procedure, so fly after the surgeon has reviewed you and ask how to reduce clot risk on a long journey.

In Chennai, the price of pelvic reconstructive surgery is generally built from these parts:

• Tests beforehand: bloods, scans and a check by the anaesthetist.
• Operating theatre and anaesthetic: billed largely on time spent in theatre.
• Specialist fees: which are set by each hospital.
• Surgical approach: open, keyhole or robotic, where more than one is possible.
• Repair: front, back or upper end of the vagina.
• Approach: vaginal or keyhole.
• Mesh: rarely used now.
• Stay: frequently one to three days.

Find out whether the Chennai costing covers the surgeon, anaesthetist, theatre, room, tests and follow-up appointments, as these are frequently billed separately.

Gynaecology in Chennai is offered by multi-speciality and women's hospitals, with keyhole and hysteroscopic surgery widely available.

Hospitals in Chennai can hold NABH accreditation, India's national quality standard set by a board of the Quality Council of India and itself accredited by ISQua, and the NABH website shows whether an accreditation is still valid.

Joint Commission International (JCI) accredits a number of Indian hospitals, and its public directory lets you check whether a Chennai hospital on your shortlist is currently included.

Chennai was called Madras until the Tamil Nadu government changed the name in 1996, so older documents and some hospital paperwork may still use the earlier name.
