Why Does Surgery Cost Vary?
Implants & Hardware
Spinal fusion requires cages, screws, and plates. The cost of implants (local vs imported) significantly affects total cost. Dr. Waqas recommends what is medically appropriate, not the most expensive option.
Hospital Stay Duration
Minimally invasive procedures (endoscopic disc surgery) may need only 1 day. Complex brain or spine surgery may need 5–7 days including HDU monitoring.
Anaesthesia & Monitoring
Some procedures require specialised intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) to protect nerves — this adds cost but is essential for complex cases.
Complexity of the Case
A single-level disc herniation costs far less than a multi-level spinal reconstruction or a complex deep-seated brain tumour. The MRI and clinical evaluation determine this.
ICU / HDU Stay
Major brain surgeries or high-risk patients may need Intensive Care monitoring post-operatively, which is billed separately.
