The cost of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) in Ukraine typically ranges from 9,000 US$ to 15,000 US$. Prices vary depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s experience, the number of vertebral levels treated, and the type of implants used (titanium cages or plates). In the United States, the average cost is 70,000 US$ (per AAOS). This means ACDF in Ukraine is about 83% less expensive than in the U.S.
Ukrainian packages usually include pre-op diagnostics, the surgery itself, anesthesia, hospital stay, titanium or PEEK implants, medications, and follow-up care. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with separate billing for hospital, implants, anesthesia, and post-op care. Always confirm exactly what’s included with each clinic.
