The cost of herniated disc surgery in Israel typically ranges from $18,000 to $25,300. Prices vary depending on the surgical approach (microdiscectomy, endoscopic, or open surgery), the hospital, and the surgeon’s experience. In the United States, the average cost is $42,500 (per AAOS). This means herniated disc surgery in Israel is about 49% less than in the U.S.
Israeli hospitals generally include pre-op imaging, anesthesia, the surgical procedure, hospital stay (1–3 days), medications, and follow-up visits in the quoted price. In the U.S., fees for anesthesia, imaging, and hospital stay are often charged separately, with the listed price usually covering only the surgeon’s fee. Patients should confirm exactly what’s included with each clinic before booking.
