Hernia surgery costs depend on several factors like the type of surgery, associated complications, and the kind of mesh required after hernia surgery. The cost of open hernia surgery is lower than laparoscopic surgery. However, open hernia surgery is preferred in older people, obese individuals, and patients with previously failed repairs. The length of mesh required also determines the cost of the surgery.

The various factors that affect the price of hernia surgery include doctor charges, charges for hospital admission, post-operative care, and the type of mesh placed after surgery. Hernia surgery can be open, laparoscopic, or robotic. The cost of open surgery is less than laparoscopic surgery. Robotic surgery is the most expensive.

The average cost of hernia surgery in India is Rs. 65,000. The cost ranges from Rs. 55,000 to Rs. 2,60,000. The price depends on the surgery site and surgical complications associated with the procedure. The type of hospital chosen for the surgery can also affect the cost.

The cost of open inguinal hernia surgery can range from Rs. 18,000 to Rs. 30,000. The laparoscopic surgery price starts at around Rs. 40,000. The cost of preoperative investigations, cost of mesh, and hospital admission charges are not included in this range. Also, the price is significantly higher in cities than in suburban areas. The risks associated with the surgery and the doctors' charges influence the final price of the procedure.

The cost of laparoscopic hernia surgery starts at around Rs. 40,000. Laparoscopic hernia surgery is usually preferred for better post-surgery outcomes. Laparoscopic hernia surgery is preferred over open surgery because it is associated with only minor discomfort, lesser pain, reduced recovery time, and easier repair of a recurrent hernia. In addition, the hospital stay after the laparoscopic surgery and the chances of wound infection are minor.
