Cost of Polypectomy in India

Factors That Can Alter the Cost of Polypectomy

The cost of polypectomy can be influenced by several factors:

• Hospital/clinic reputation: The reputation and quality of the medical facility where the polypectomy is performed can impact the cost.
• Surgeon's expertise: The surgeon’s experience, qualifications, and reputation, who is performing the polypectomy, can influence the cost.
• Number and size of polyps: The number and size of polyps being removed can affect the cost. If multiple polyps need to be removed or if the polyps are larger and require more time and effort to remove, the cost may go up.
• Diagnostic tests: Prior to the polypectomy procedure, diagnostic tests such as colonoscopy or biopsy may be necessary to evaluate the presence and characteristics of the polyps.
• Anesthesia and sedation: The use of anesthesia or sedation during the polypectomy procedure can impact the cost. The type and dosage of anesthesia required, too, can vary.
• Hospitalization and post-operative care: In most cases, polypectomy is performed as an outpatient procedure, but in some cases, hospitalization may be required. The duration and associated costs of hospitalization can impact the overall cost.
