Manipal Hospitals
Thymectomy in India typically costs from $5,500 to $8,500, depending on the surgical approach, clinic tier, and the city. Patients save around 87% compared to the US, where this procedure costs $53,000 on average. Standard pricing generally covers the surgical procedure, anesthesia, a multi-day hospital stay, and necessary post-operative care in medical hubs like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru.
