How Much Does Liver resection Cost in Israel?

Liver resection in Israel typically costs from $27,500 to $44,000. The final price depends on the extent of the resection, the surgical technique used, and the clinic category. In the US, similar procedures cost around $142,500 on average. Israel offers savings of around 75%. Quotes generally include pre-operative imaging, anesthesia, the surgical procedure, and approximately 5 to 10 hospital days. Major hubs for this surgery include Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Haifa.

  • Surgical technique: Robotic-assisted or laparoscopic methods typically add 20-30% to the cost of traditional open surgery.
  • Hospital type: Private centers like Assuta may have higher billing structures than public hospitals like Sheba.
  • Resection complexity: Major lobe resections reach higher price points compared to smaller, targeted removals of liver cancer.
  • Surgeon seniority: Fees for senior professors or department heads often run 15-20% higher than staff surgeons.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Choosing a multidisciplinary center like Sourasky Medical Center (Ichilov) offers exceptional value for complex cases. They report a 90% oncology treatment success rate and handle 34,000 surgeries annually. Patients benefit from JCI-accredited care and access to top-ranked experts like Professor Joseph Klauzner. While private hospitals offer personalized protocols, these large centers provide integrated genomic testing and advanced ICU support at competitive rates.

The staff is great. At the moment, we are waiting for the results of the tests, since the wrong diagnosis was made in Ukraine. In Ukraine, sarcoma was treated for 7 months and it is gone. We are not saying that there is no oncology, but the fact that there is no sarcoma is already pleasing. Received very nicely and politely. The coordinators are Russian-speaking. Every day they keep track of all matters. Those who passed the tests were not left alone for a single minute. Currently, we are waiting for a meeting with an oncologist and a radiologist. I recommend

"He is extremely impressed with the quality of medical care, the attention of professors Daniel Shuval, Alan Bloom, Ayal Hubert and their colleagues
Hello! My husband was treated at the University Hospital Hadassah. He has liver cancer. He is extremely impressed with the quality of medical care, the attention of professors Daniel Shuval, Alan Bloom, Ayal Hubert and their colleagues. He is grateful for the care of him. We had the opportunity to choose treatment in 5 leading hospitals in the world. And we are glad that by choosing HADASS we made the best and the right choice. Because this hospital has world-class medical care. But this would not have happened if it had not been for the wonderful organization and work of the specialists from the International Department who have been helping us all the time. With all my heart I thank everyone who helped and continues to help Pavel Kalchev in his fight against cancer. I wish all HADASS specialists health. Health for their families.

In general, I am very pleased with this opportunity
I was advised to do a glass review, at first they turned to Germany and they did not confirm the diagnosis there, but there were doubts about the diagnosis and Israel was the third country, which turned out to be the right decision. I believe that this feature is very useful, since the diagnosis is not comic and you need to deal with the revision of the blocks. Coordinator Anastasia helped, very quickly found the people who transported our glasses, in this regard, many thanks. In general, I am very pleased with this opportunity.

-I was lucky that I went to the website "Bukimed"
I'll start with the most important thing. The most important thing in a huge sea of ​​information is to choose the right "light", "lighthouse", which will point the way to a person who finds himself in this abyss with a limited time and money limit. I was lucky that I went to the website "Bukimed". I was contacted by coordinating physician Ivan Koval, who was very tactful and at the same time confidently leading me forward. I rushed from one clinic to another, from one operator to another, he calmly explained to me all the pros and cons and was support even when I already completely refused his help and tuned in to another operator. Even then, he very tactfully warned about possible pitfalls and continued to be an assistant. As a result, I took his advice and did not regret it. Hi Medical is very sympathetic to customers, helps with everything, tries to reduce customer costs, where possible. Organizes as quickly as possible consultations and time-examination. Special thanks to Victoria, who spins like a squirrel in a wheel to keep everything in order, always in touch and will not rest until the matter is brought to an end. My treatment is not yet complete, but I'm glad that I got into such a nice team, which brightens up, as much as possible, a person's life one-to-one with his illness. Thank you and for a healthy sense of humor, it also helps to overcome illness!))) And, still. Ivan was in touch with me throughout his stay in Israel. He was convinced that I flew, I was met and I was engaged. He made sure that I get everything that was promised. And after my return home, too, remains in touch, helping in my next steps. Thanks for the help!

Effectiveness: Success rate of up to 90% for localized liver tumors.
Duration: 3-5 hours
Recovery: 4-6 weeks
Best for: Patients with localized liver tumors, metastatic liver disease, or liver lesions not responding to other therapies.

FAQ about Liver resection in Israel

These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.

Top-rated liver resection surgeons in Israel include board-certified experts like Dr. Menahem Ben-haim and Professor Ofer Merimsky at Sourasky Medical Center. These specialists often hold international fellowships from institutions like Institut Gustave Roussy and the Royal Marsden, focusing on complex gastrointestinal oncology and minimally invasive techniques.

  • Academic leadership: Dr. Joseph Klauzner serves as the Chairman of the National Council on Surgery.
  • Sub-specialization: Dr. Igor Suhotnik specializes in pediatric liver resections at Dana-Dweck Children's Hospital.
  • Advanced therapies: Dr. Pelles Sharon integrates liver resection with innovative SIRT and HIPEC treatments.
  • Clinical research: Professor Rifaat Safadi leads pioneering research in immune modulation for liver fibrosis.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows that top Israeli surgeons often hold dual roles in oncology and surgery. For example, Professor Ofer Merimsky at Sourasky Medical Center is an ESMO faculty member with over 30 years of experience. This allows for a more integrated approach to complex malignant tumors than surgeons focusing solely on technical resection.

Patient Consensus: Patients note that the recovery protocol in Israel is surprisingly fast. Many were walking and starting liquids on the first day after surgery. They also appreciate that surgeons are very open about potential risks like bile leaks before the procedure starts.

Which doctors specialize in pediatric liver resections in Israel?

Pediatric liver resections in Israel are performed by specialized surgeons at major centers like Dana-Dwek Children's Hospital. Dr. Igor Suhotnik is a leading specialist with over 25 years of experience in pediatric surgery. These experts use advanced techniques at JCI-accredited facilities to treat complex hepatobiliary conditions in children.

  • Specialized expertise: Dr. Igor Suhotnik directs pediatric surgery with 25+ years of clinical experience.
  • Complex oncology: Dr. Ofer Merimsky treats malignant liver tumors at Sourasky Medical Center.
  • Surgical leadership: Dr. Joseph Klauzner serves as Chairman of Surgery at a top-ranked hospital.
  • Advanced technology: Surgeons utilize 3D modeling and intraoperative ultrasound for precise pediatric resections.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows that top pediatric surgeons in Israel often hold multiple international memberships. Dr. Igor Suhotnik is a member of the American College of Surgeons and the European Association of Pediatric Surgeons. This international integration ensures they follow the latest global protocols for pediatric hepatobiliary care and complex liver resections.

Patient Consensus: Parents emphasize the importance of seeing surgeon logs for pediatric-specific cases before the procedure. They often feel more comfortable when the medical team includes an English-fluent coordinator for post-op care. Many note that monitoring liver regrowth after the surgery is a vital step for their child's recovery.

When choosing a liver surgeon in Israel, look for specialists with international fellowship training and leadership roles in hepatobiliary units. Top surgeons often hold board certifications in general surgery and oncology while maintaining memberships in societies like the American College of Surgeons.

  • International training: Leading doctors like Dr. Ofer Merimsky trained in the USA and France.
  • Sub-specialization: Seek experts focused on hepatobiliary (HPB) surgery, such as Dr. Lubezky Nir.
  • Academic leadership: Prefer surgeons who teach at institutions like Tel Aviv University or Hebrew University.
  • Multi-disciplinary access: Choose surgeons at JCI-accredited centers that offer HIPEC and SIRT therapies.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows that top-tier Israeli surgeons often hold dual roles in clinical practice and research. For example, Dr. Irina Stepfansky leads oncology hospitalization while serving as a primary researcher for clinical trials. This profile indicates a surgeon who stays current with the most advanced liver resection protocols and experimental therapies.

Patient Consensus: Patients often notice that wait times for second opinions can stretch for several months at major public hospitals. However, they've found that using private-pay options can significantly speed up the scheduling process for urgent resections. Many were also relieved to find that surgeons at top centers communicate clearly in English.

Are there Israeli specialists focused on liver cancer non-surgical treatments who collaborate with resection surgeons?

Israeli specialists in non-surgical liver cancer treatments work in multidisciplinary teams with resection surgeons. Experts like Dr. Pelles Sharon and Assoc. Prof. Ofer Merimsky coordinate therapies like SIRT and chemoembolization. This collaborative approach at JCI-accredited centers ensures integrated care for complex hepatic malignancies.

  • Multidisciplinary tumor boards: Surgeons and oncologists review cases together to determine treatment sequences.
  • Advanced systemic therapy: Oncologists provide immunotherapy and targeted drugs alongside surgical resection plans.
  • Interventional radiology access: Specialists perform TACE and SIRT to shrink tumors before surgery.
  • Dual board certification: Experts like Dr. Irina Stepfansky bridge medical and surgical oncology teams.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows that top Israeli oncologists often hold international fellowships from institutions like the Royal Marsden in London or Institut Gustave Roussy in Paris. This global training allows doctors at Sourasky Medical Center to implement European sarcoma and hepatic protocols. Patients benefit from specialized units where medical oncologists lead hospitalization departments to synchronize recovery with surgical outcomes.

Patient Consensus: Patients note that tumor boards are standard and help coordinate different specialists. It is important to ask early about bridging procedures like TACE to prevent delays. Many were relieved to find that surgeons and oncologists work in the same building for easier scheduling.
