1)Kidney Stone Removal (Lithotripsy)

Description

Lithotripsy is a non-invasive procedure used to treat kidney stones by using shock waves to break up the stones into smaller pieces, allowing them to be passed out of the body through urine.

Why it's needed:

 This procedure is required for patients suffering from kidney stones that are too large to pass on their own or causing severe pain or infections.

Cost in India

₹40,000 – ₹80,000 ($500 – $1,000)

Cost in the U.K.

£4,000 – £6,000

Cost in the U.S.:

$10,000 – $15,000

Why India

 Lithotripsy in India is more affordable, with access to the latest technology and expert urologists, making it a cost-effective option for international patients.

2) Prostate Surgery (TURP, Robotic Prostatectomy)

Description

Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a common procedure for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), where excess prostate tissue is removed to relieve urinary obstruction. Robotic prostatectomy is used to treat prostate cancer by removing the prostate gland with robotic assistance.

Why it's needed:

These surgeries are essential for treating prostate conditions, especially BPH and prostate cancer

Cost in India

₹2,00,000 – ₹5,00,000 ($2,400 – $6,000) for TURP

Cost in the U.S.

$8,000 – $15,000 for TURP, $10,000 – $20,000 for robotic prostatectomy

Cost in the U.K.:

£4,000 – £7,000 for TURP, £8,000 – £15,000 for robotic prostatectomy

Why India

India offers advanced prostate surgeries with skilled surgeons, utilizing the latest robotic technology at a fraction of the cost seen in the U.S. and U.K.
