Planning spine surgery and want to understand the treatment budget? This page presents starting prices and explains what determines an estimate. Endoscopic lumbar disc removal starts from UAH 75 000, and dynamic ASC scoliosis correction from UAH 690 000. The final amount is agreed for a specific surgical plan.
How much does spine surgery cost?
My specialty is endoscopic spine surgery. We discuss treatment costs together with the aims of the procedure: what needs to be done, at which levels and which implants the plan requires.

Costs of other operations
For these treatments, an estimate is prepared after consultation and agreement on the plan. The price for disc removal does not automatically apply to stenosis decompression, fixation procedures or cervical surgery.
ASC costs: what makes up UAH 690 000
For dynamic ASC scoliosis correction, the starting budget comprises three parts:
The number of correction levels, implant system required and extent of treatment affect the final estimate. These components apply to ASC; estimates for other types of surgery are prepared separately.
What determines the final price?
The specific extent of treatment needs to be determined before estimating the cost. Factors include:
- The method and aims of surgery. Disc removal, decompression, stabilization and deformity correction involve different extents of treatment.
- Number of levels. Single-level and multilevel surgery require different plans.
- Implants. If cages, screws, a disc replacement or a scoliosis correction system are planned, their costs need to be included in the estimate.
- Clinic services. We agree on anaesthetic care, the stay and other services needed for your plan.
- Treatment-specific factors. Previous surgery, coexisting conditions and additional stages needed are considered during planning.
A personal estimate should clearly show the total, included services and possible additional expenses. Before agreeing on surgery, we clarify what is included and what may be charged separately.
How to receive a treatment estimate
- Describe your situation. What is troubling you, for how long, which treatments you have had and whether surgery has been proposed.
- Include existing investigations. Complete MRI/CT studies in DICOM format and reports; after previous surgery, include the discharge summary. You do not need a new MRI simply for your first enquiry.
- Discuss the plan with the professor. We clarify the aims and extent of surgery and the need for implants. An in-person examination is arranged when necessary.
- Receive a personal estimate. After agreeing on the plan, we clarify the amount, included services and practical treatment arrangements.
Preliminary review of existing investigations is free. Confirm the format and fee for an in-person consultation when booking.

How to compare estimates from different clinics
Compare the same extent of treatment. Clarify the operation name, number of levels, implants included, anaesthesia, stay arrangements and postoperative follow-up. This helps you understand what each amount covers.
If you already have a surgical recommendation, send it with your investigations. I will explain my proposed plan and which components need to be included in the cost.
Questions about surgical costs
Do all endoscopic operations start from UAH 75 000?
This guide price applies to endoscopic lumbar disc removal. Stenosis, stabilization procedures, cervical and revision operations are estimated according to the relevant plan.
Are implants included in the stated price?
The ASC starting amount is broken down separately into implants, clinic services and blood substitutes. For every other procedure, estimate contents are clarified before agreeing on surgery; the starting price alone should not be taken as a list of included services.
Can an amount be determined from an MRI report alone?
The report helps begin discussion, but planning also requires the actual images, symptoms and examination findings. The precise estimate is linked to the agreed extent of surgery.
What is free?
Preliminary review of existing investigations you send. Arrangements for an in-person consultation, surgery and other services are clarified separately.
Can I book without an existing MRI?
Yes. You can attend an in-person consultation with existing medical documents. The need for additional investigations is determined according to your situation.
