The cost of a thymectomy in Ukraine typically ranges from $3,500 to $6,000. Pricing varies depending on the type of thymectomy (open or minimally invasive VATS), the hospital, surgeon experience, and whether additional treatments like robotic assistance are used. In the United States, the average cost is $53,500 (according to the Society of Thoracic Surgeons). This means thymectomy in Ukraine is about 91% less expensive than in the U.S.
Ukrainian hospitals usually include pre-op tests, general anesthesia, the surgery itself, standard hospital stay, medications, and basic post-op follow-up in the price. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with anesthesia, hospital stay, and aftercare billed separately. Patients should confirm what’s included at each clinic before booking.
