The cost of removal of spinal cord tumor surgery in Ukraine typically ranges from $12,000 to $25,000. Prices vary depending on the tumor’s location and size, the surgeon’s experience, and whether advanced intraoperative monitoring is used. In the United States, the average cost is $225,000 (per AANS). This means removal of spinal cord tumor surgery in Ukraine is about 92% less than in the U.S.
Ukrainian hospitals usually include pre-op diagnostics (MRI, CT), surgery, anesthesia, several days of hospital stay, post-op monitoring, and follow-up visits. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the surgeon and hospital fee, with imaging, anesthesia, and rehab billed separately. Always confirm what’s included with your chosen clinic in Ukraine.
