Robotic surgery prices, as with most treatments in the medical world, vary depending on the specialist doctor who will perform the surgical procedure. However, other factors that may vary from patient to patient, such as the direction and process of the treatment, also cause robotic surgery prices to vary.
Such surgical procedures performed with robots are becoming widespread and used in almost all branches with the development of technology. Specialists who perform these surgeries in robotic surgery receive two-day training in clinics that provide this training.
What are the average prices of Robotic surgery in Izmir?
In this way, doctors who receive two days of theoretical and practical training can perform surgeries with robotic surgery and gain practice in a short time. There are differences in the prices of surgeries performed with this type of robotic surgery due to many factors such as the hospital where the surgery will be performed and the nature of the surgery to be performed.
However, when the robotic surgery method first appeared, it was observed as an expensive technique compared to other types of surgery. If we talk about the average prices of the types of robotic surgery we mentioned, they vary between 30,000 and 80,000 Turkish liras.
Prices for surgeries performed with robotic surgery are determined by the dollar exchange rate. Since there is no competition in the field of robotic surgery we mentioned, prices are determined based on the dollar exchange rate and it is not possible to change much.
When determining the price of Izmir robotic surgery surgeries, in addition to fees such as hospital expenses, other costs such as the investment of the robotic system used, annual maintenance, and the fee of the robot arms are taken into consideration.
Due to these extra costs, the prices of surgeries performed with robotic surgery are higher than those performed with other types of classical surgical methods.
Izmir Robotic surgery prices vary depending on the type of disease and the procedure to be performed. Factors such as the area where the surgery will be performed and the procedure to be performed on the area determine the cost of the surgery.
Types of surgeries performed with robotic surgery and their costs
If we talk about the types of surgeries performed with robotic surgery and their pricing, let’s first talk about a few procedures that cause the price to vary in prostate cancer.
In robotic surgery for prostate cancer, factors such as whether radical surgery will be performed, whether nerve protection will be performed for sexual functions, whether lymph nodes will be removed in an extended manner or not, cause price-related changes.
Similar factors cause changes in the prices of robotic surgeries for bladder cancer.
In robotic surgery to be used in kidney cancer, factors such as whether the tumor will be removed and the healthy kidney part will be protected, whether the surgery will be performed by closing the renal artery single or selectively, and whether other surgery will be performed simultaneously or not, change the prices.
In the robotic surgery method used in testicular cancer, the answers to questions such as what is the clinical stage, what are the biopsy pathological features, the possibility of the tumor being limited to the organ, the possibility of it having spread through the testicular capsule, the value of all markers of the testicle in the lymph nodes and serum, are answered regarding the prices of the surgical procedure to be performed robotically. causes changes.
Therefore, as in many surgical procedures, the prices of surgical procedures and surgeries performed robotically are affected by various reasons such as the disease for which the procedure will be performed, the degree of the disease, factors related to the direction and duration of the treatment, and various applications in surgeries as mentioned above, whether an extra surgical procedure will be required or not. It causes changes in the prices of surgical operations.
The price is determined according to your disease and the treatment to be applied, and a clear price is obtained with extra costs.
