The cost of pyeloplasty in Gurgaon typically ranges from $620 to $6,000 USD (about ₹58,800 to ₹5.69 lakh), depending on the hospital, room category and type of procedure.

A typical estimate for pyeloplasty in Gurgaon is around $2,000 (about ₹1.90 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 $620 (about ₹58,800). It is likely to be nearer $6,000 (about ₹5.69 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 pyeloplasty, check whether each quote includes:

• Surgeon and anaesthetist fees

Pyeloplasty is surgery to correct a narrowing where the kidney joins the ureter (PUJ obstruction), which slows urine draining from the kidney and makes it swell; it is common in children.

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust says that a PUJ blockage slows the flow of urine from the kidney so that it swells, which can cause pain, infections or loss of kidney function, and in children it is commonly found on scans before or after birth.

The narrowed section is taken out and the ureter rejoined to the kidney by open or keyhole surgery, with a stent to support healing.

Cambridge reports a stay of about two to five days for children, with an external stent taken out after about a week and an internal stent six to eight weeks later.

Follow-up includes an ultrasound at about 6 to 12 weeks and a kidney function scan (MAG3) at about three to six months.

Flying home: UK Civil Aviation Authority medical guidance recommends no flights for 10 days following open abdominal surgery, which usually means about a fortnight in Gurgaon.

A Gurgaon quote for pyeloplasty 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.
• Patient: child or adult.
• Approach: open, keyhole or robotic.
• Stent: internal or external.
• Follow-up: scans over months.

Confirm whether the Gurgaon estimate includes the surgeon, theatre, any catheter or stent and its removal, the stay and follow-up tests.

Urology departments in Gurgaon's larger hospitals routinely provide endoscopic stone treatment and keyhole operations, and some offer robotic surgery.

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.

Haryana adopted the national Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2010 in 2018, starting with larger private hospitals, so you can ask a Gurgaon hospital for its registration under the Act.
