The cost of surgical treatment of radiculopathy in Thailand typically ranges from $8,500 / ฿289,000 to $13,000 / ฿442,000. Pricing varies depending on the surgical approach (discectomy, laminectomy, or spinal fusion), the hospital, surgeon experience, and whether advanced implants or minimally invasive techniques are used. In the United States, the average cost is $40,000 / ฿1,360,000 (per NASS). This means patients save about 73% compared to U.S. prices.
Thai hospitals usually include the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, operating room, pre-op labs, standard spinal implants, several days of hospitalization, medications, and follow-up visits in the quoted price. In the U.S., these are often billed separately, with only the surgeon’s fee shown upfront. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your chosen provider.
