The cost of surgery for syringomyelia in Ukraine typically ranges from $8,500 to $14,000. Prices can vary depending on the type of surgical procedure (such as shunt placement or decompression), the clinic, and the neurosurgeon’s experience. In the United States, the average cost is $100,000 (per AANS). This means surgery for syringomyelia in Ukraine is about 89% less than in the U.S.
Ukrainian hospitals usually include the surgery itself, anesthesia, standard pre-op tests, 3–7 days of hospitalization, basic medications, and follow-up care. In the U.S., the base price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with separate charges for anesthesia, hospital stay, imaging, and aftercare. Always confirm exactly what’s included in your treatment package before booking.
