Circumcision is performed in conditions like hypospadias, epispadias, phimosis, paraphimosis, balanitis, and balanoposthitis. Circumcision can be performed within 15-30 minutes by employing one of the various surgical procedures such as dorsal slit, shield and clamp and excision. Cost depends on the specific procedure used to perform circumcision, complications associated with it, and the hospital where the surgery is performed.

The cost of circumcision depends on several factors, one of the most common being why the circumcision is being performed. Additionally, the price can vary on the basis of associated surgeries (if any) that need to be performed. Over and above these factors, other variables include the doctor’s charges, hospital admission cost, post-surgery care, and follow-up visits required thereafter.

The average cost of circumcision performed for phimosis ranges between Rs. 9600 and Rs. 105000 in India. However, in Hyderabad, the surgery price may be between Rs. 3500 and Rs. 106000. Apart from the type of surgical method, devices used to perform the surgery also affect the cost of surgery.

The average price of laser circumcision in India is Rs. 25,000. In laser circumcision, instead of cautery, a carbon dioxide laser is used to cut the preputial skin. It causes minimal bleeding but is costlier than conventional circumcision.

The cost of circumcision depends on several factors like the doctor and hospital admission charges. The surgery price is higher in metropolitan cities than in suburban areas. The cost depends on the demand for the surgery as well. Well-experienced doctors charge more fees than ones with lesser experience. Moreover, advanced equipment and investigations available in private hospitals are usually expensive.
