How Much Does Stomach resection Cost in Republic of Korea?

The cost of stomach resection in South Korea typically ranges from $14,100 to $21,300. Pricing depends on the hospital, the surgeon’s experience, the complexity of the case (such as partial vs. total resection), and whether it’s open or laparoscopic surgery. In the United States, the average price is $85,000 (per ASCRS). This means stomach resection in South Korea can cost about 79% less than in the U.S.

South Korean hospitals usually include pre-op tests, anesthesia, the surgery itself, several days of hospitalization, medications, and follow-up visits in the quoted price. In the U.S., the listed cost often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with separate charges for anesthesia, hospital stay, and aftercare. Patients should always confirm exactly what’s included with their chosen hospital.
