How Much Does Stomach resection Cost in Italy?

Stomach resection in Italy typically costs from $18,000 to $35,000. The final price depends on the surgical technique, such as laparoscopic or robotic-assisted methods, and the clinic location. Patients save around 69% compared to the US, where this procedure costs $85,000 on average. Standard costs usually cover hospitalization for 3–5 nights, pre-operative diagnostic tests, and anesthesia.

  • Robotic-assisted surgery: Typically adds 20-30% over standard laparoscopic or open surgical approaches.
  • Milan medical hubs: Packages in Milan may cost 15-20% more than in southern regional cities.
  • Bariatric gastric sleeve: Often represents the higher end of the price spectrum for weight loss.
  • Surgical consultations: Initial specialist visits in Italy typically range between $200 and $500.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Choosing a clinic within the San Donato Hospital network offers access to Italy's largest medical group. For instance, San Raffaele and San Donato Hospital are both accredited by IRCCS and ranked by Newsweek. While premium facilities in Milan command higher prices, they provide access to world-class surgeons like Antonio Braun, who has performed over 12,000 gastrointestinal interventions.

The experience was excellent and the staff was very helpful in short time test and diagnosis was done. Since we live overseas we are facing difficulty in finding medicines if that could also be arranged and shipped to us it would be great help
