The cost of cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) in Ukraine typically ranges from $2,100 to $3,500. Prices vary depending on the clinic, the surgeon’s experience, and whether the procedure is laparoscopic or open. In the United States, the average cost is $19,000 (according to ASPS). This means cholecystectomy in Ukraine is about 85% less than in the U.S.
Ukrainian clinics usually include the initial consultation, pre-op blood tests, post-op medication, follow-up consultations, English-speaking staff, a personalized treatment plan, care instructions, meals during clinic visits, and 24/7 patient support. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the surgeon and facility fee, with anesthesia, tests, and aftercare billed separately. Always confirm what’s included with your chosen clinic.
