How Much Does Urethroscopic lithotripsy Cost in Italy?

Urethroscopic lithotripsy in Italy typically costs from $3,200 to $5,000. The final price depends on stone size, location, and the chosen medical facility. In the US, similar procedures cost around $11,500 on average. Patients save around 64% compared to US prices. The procedure usually includes the surgical intervention, anesthesia, and a short hospital stay.

  • Procedure technique: Flexible ureteroscopy often carries a 20-30% premium over rigid techniques due to equipment costs.
  • Destination city: Medical hubs like Milan and Rome generally feature higher facility fees than regional centers.
  • Stone complexity: Larger stones requiring multiple laser fragmentation passes or ancillary maneuvers increase the total fee.
  • Clinic category: Private research hospitals often bundle specialized nursing care and international patient support into their rates.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Choosing a specialized center like Ospedale San Carlo di Nancy in Rome offers high-value expertise. This facility holds a Bookimed award for robotic surgery and operates under the Italian National Health Service. For complex cases, seeking a specialist like Dr. Alessandro Calarco is wise. He holds an international patent for improving percutaneous kidney surgery for large stones.
