What Is The Treatment And Cost For The Surgical Removal Of Cyst In Between Vertebra And Spinal Column?

Hi, I was seen recently by Mr John McMahon at the Alfred Hospital and I have a cyst growing between two vertebra and into my spinal column. I am on a waiting list for surgery but I would like to know a ball park figure for the cost if I was a private patient please.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your complaint and note that you are on waiting list for surgery.

The exact cost of surgery would depend on the type of surgery and its details.

In India, the cost of a similar surgery would be about Rs 2,50,000/ (about 4000 USD). I know it is about 5-10 times more expensive in the USA.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
