Testicular Implant Cost in Gurgaon, India

The cost of a testicular implant 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 a testicular implant in Gurgaon is around $3,500 (about ₹3.32 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 $1,900 (about ₹1.80 lakh). It is likely to be nearer $7,000 (about ₹6.64 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 a testicular implant, check whether each quote includes:

• Surgeon and anaesthetist fees
• Operating theatre or procedure room
• Stents or catheters
• Hospital stay and room category
• Medicines and consumables
• Follow-up visits before you fly home

A testicular implant (prosthesis) is a soft artificial testicle placed in the scrotum for appearance, normally after a testicle has been taken out because of cancer, twisting (torsion) or injury.

The British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS) says that a testicular prosthesis is purely cosmetic and produces neither hormones nor sperm.

BAUS points out that the operation normally takes 45 to 60 minutes as a day case, with the implant placed through a cut in the groin and chosen to match the remaining testicle.

BAUS advises avoiding strenuous activity for about six weeks.

It reports the implant sitting higher than the other testicle in between 1 in 2 and 1 in 10 men, dissatisfaction in about 1 in 5, and infection or bleeding needing removal in between 1 in 50 and 1 in 250.

Flying home: there is no aviation figure for this procedure, so book after the surgeon's review and ask how to lower clot risk on a long flight.

A Gurgaon quote for a testicular implant 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.
• Implant: sized to match the other testicle.
• Stay: normally a day case.
• Anaesthesia: general.
• Timing: with or after removal of the testicle.

A testicular implant is normally a short day-case operation, so it is worth asking what the Gurgaon price includes, including the implant itself.

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.

Gurgaon was officially renamed Gurugram by the Haryana government in 2016, so hospital letters, maps and taxi apps may use either name.
