The cost of esophagectomy in Ukraine typically ranges from 11,000 US$ to 17,000 US$. The price varies depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s experience, surgical approach (open vs. minimally invasive), and the patient’s overall health. In the United States, the average cost is 150,000 US$ (per SSO). Esophagectomy in Ukraine is about 91% less than in the U.S.
Ukrainian hospitals generally include preoperative tests, anesthesia, the surgery itself, intensive care, hospital stay, standard medications, and follow-up visits in the price. In the U.S., costs for anesthesia, ICU care, and post-op monitoring are often billed separately from the surgeon’s fee. Always confirm what’s included with your chosen clinic before proceeding.
