The cost of hemorrhoidectomy in South Korea typically ranges from $2,300 to $4,300. Prices vary depending on the clinic, surgeon’s experience, and whether the procedure is performed with traditional surgery or minimally invasive techniques. In the United States, the average cost is $12,000 (per ASCRS). This means hemorrhoidectomy in South Korea is about 73% less than in the U.S.
Korean clinics usually include the initial consultation, pre-op blood tests, post-op medications, follow-up visits, English-speaking staff, and 24/7 patient support. Meals during clinic visits and detailed aftercare instructions are also provided. In the U.S., prices often cover only the surgeon’s fee, with anesthesia, facility, and follow-ups billed separately. Always confirm what’s included with your chosen clinic.
