The cost of colectomy (large bowel resection) in Poland typically ranges from $12,000 to $24,000. Prices can vary depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s experience, whether the surgery is open or laparoscopic, and the complexity of the case. In the United States, the average cost is _price_compare_us_average_ (according to ACS). This means colectomy in Poland is about _price_percent_discount_% less expensive than in the U.S.
Polish hospitals usually include pre-op tests, the surgeon’s and anesthesiologist’s fees, operating room charges, standard surgical materials, several days of inpatient care, and basic post-op medications. In the U.S., many of these services—especially hospital stay and anesthesia—are billed separately, with listed prices often covering only the surgeon’s fee. Patients should always confirm exactly what’s included in the quoted price at each clinic.
