How Much Does Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Cost in Italy?

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass in Italy typically costs from $14,000 to $19,000. The final price depends on the surgical technique, the specialist medical hub, and the clinic tier. In the US, similar procedures cost around $26,500 on average. Italy offers savings of around 38%. Standard bariatric packages in Italy often include the surgery, anesthesia, and a hospital stay of three to five nights.

  • Robotic-assisted surgery: Typically adds 20-30% over the standard laparoscopic approach due to specialized Da Vinci equipment.
  • Milan medical hubs: Packages in Milan usually range from 15-20% higher than clinics in regional southern cities.
  • Pre-operative diagnostics: Specialist consultations and gastroenterological check-ups often add between $250 and $500 to the total.
  • Destination hubs: Major centers for bariatric care include Rome, Milan, Bologna, and Florence.
