The cost of discectomy in Ukraine typically ranges from $4,000 to $8,000. Prices vary depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s experience, the type of discectomy (open or microdiscectomy), and whether spinal implants or advanced imaging are needed. In the United States, the average cost is $35,000 (according to AAOS). Discectomy in Ukraine is generally about 83% less than in the U.S.
Ukrainian hospitals usually include pre-op tests, general or spinal anesthesia, the surgical procedure, basic spinal implants if required, one to three nights of hospitalization, post-op medications, and follow-up visits. In the U.S., hospital fees, anesthesia, implants, and post-op care are often billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your clinic.
