The cost of a discectomy in Israel typically ranges from $18,000 to $21,600. Prices can vary depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s experience, the complexity of the herniation, and whether the approach is open or minimally invasive. In the United States, the average cost is $35,000 (according to AAOS). This means a discectomy in Israel is about 43% less expensive than in the U.S.
Israeli hospitals usually include pre-op diagnostics (MRI or CT), the surgery itself, anesthesia, standard implants or materials, 1–2 days of hospitalization, and basic follow-up care in the price. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with separate charges for anesthesia, imaging, hospital stay, and post-op care. Always confirm what’s included with your chosen hospital or clinic.
