In Israel, the operating surgeon or their specialized surgical team usually serves as the first point of contact after a colectomy. You typically meet with the surgeon for an initial follow-up visit within one to two weeks after leaving the hospital.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows that choosing a department head often provides a more structured follow-up experience. Dr. Ron Greenberg at Sourasky Medical Center leads a dedicated colorectal team that combines surgical expertise with organized aftercare. Additionally, Dr. Ofer Merimsky and Dr. Pelles Sharon offer online consultations for $950 and $825, which can be useful for international patients needing expert second opinions remotely.
Patient Consensus: Patients note that having a direct number for a wound specialist is vital during the first week home. Many felt more secure when their family doctor was looped into the recovery plan from the very first day. It is often mentioned that preparation for home care should happen well before the actual discharge day.
A colectomy in Israel typically costs between $20,500 and $33,500 depending on the surgical technique. Leading specialists at JCI-accredited centers perform these complex resections. Prices often include the surgeon fee, anesthesia, and several days of hospital recovery.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows that choosing a department head often provides access to dual expertise. For instance, Dr. Ron Greenberg at Sourasky Medical Center leads the Colorectal Department while specializing in both laparoscopy and complex Whipple procedures. This technical versatility allows surgeons to adapt the surgical plan mid-operation if they find the condition is more complex than initial scans suggested.
Patient Consensus: Patients note that traveling to Israel for bowel surgery can save 30-50% compared to US costs. They are often surprised by the inclusive nature of the quotes, which cover everything from pathology to hospital stays. Many mention feeling safer knowing their surgeon also teaches at major universities like Tel Aviv University.
