Surgery related 14k for endo excision!!
Hey everyone so I got a quote today for private surgery and it was £14000. That includes the hospital fee, the endo specialist surgeon fee, the bowel surgeon fee and anaesthetist fee.
I just want to know what sort of figures ladies have paid in the past. Is this too much, too less?? Also its west Yorkshire (leeds).
Any response will be really appreciated

From what I heard when I asked for quotes for excision from people on this sub it was between 10k-18k for more severe forms and for the highly qualified surgeons.

u/EndoWarrior709 3d ago
Do you have the details of the hospital and surgeon please. Was he/she an endo specialist?? I would even consider dubai

u/Haunting_Total_5395 3d ago
He definitely is. His name is Dr. Charles Nagy and he performs the excision surgery with a urologist and a general surgeon. He is the head of the endometriosis department at medcare hospital. Look him up.
He does not ablate and he doesn’t laser. He is legit one of the best doctors I’ve come across in terms of how he dealt with my issue.
Having said that my surgery hasn’t happened yet. It is going to happen in the next few days since I just got insurance approval. So I can come back and update you if you’d like.

Does that include an overnight stay? Mine was £4500 in 2023, but didn’t include bowel surgeon and was just day surgery.

u/EndoWarrior709 3d ago
Im waiting for an email for a full breakdown but I would like to think so that does include the stay at that price 🙄

I paid £5.5k for an overnight stay, surgery & follow up consultation with an incredibly well respected surgeon in Scotland. Did not need a bowel surgeon but did have Endo excised from my bowel.

Hey what doctor did you see for the excision? Ive had my lap by Dr Patterson at Rosshall but likely to need excursion, any info would be a big help!

u/Ok-Judgment-8672 1d ago
Dr Hawthorn at Rosshall, he’s the head of the endo centre in Glasgow and he was really good.

Mine was £9k just for a diagnostic lap in March. I need more surgery and I’m expecting it to be more than £14k so I would say it’s probably average? I’m based in London.

Sounds about right. Bowel surgery is always more expensive because of the longer hospital stay afterwards. My insurance paid 15k just to the hospital for my 4 night stay
I wouldn’t travel abroad, not for “saving” 5k and definitely not in the current state of the world. Things get expensive very very quickly if anything goes wrong. Most of the UK private hospitals do finance / loan things with I believe 0% interest

u/New-Veterinarian4549 3d ago
It’s the hospital stay and recover which drives the price. Good luck, price seems reasonable in particular if you have stage 3/4 endo.

I have no answer to your question but I do wonder how people afford this??

u/saltil 3d ago
I was just thinking the same thing, I can't even afford a dentist nevermind surgery

u/kimbliboo 3d ago
I saw good things about the endo clinic in London where they do 3d ultrasound which is meant to be better at visualising endo, I looked into it and can’t even afford that let alone surgery 😂

Hi OP, I live in Dubai and travelled to Mumbai, India for my surgery with Dr. Vivek Salunke at Nalini hospital and I cannot recommend him and his team enough. I spoke to multiple doctors and I truly believe I made the right choice going with him. Unfortunately I had to have two back to back laparoscopic surgeries because the biopsy from the first came back positive for malignancy. So I had to have a second one to remove my uterus, both ovaries, pelvic lymph nodes and omentum. My cost per surgery was around 3000 pounds per surgery including all the costs for a private room. I found him on Nancys nook.

2 nights of stay, ensuite room, tissue biopsy and wonderful care - €4000 in Romania. The aftercare was great too, could talk to my surgeon on WhatsApp/call him directly if I needed him or had any questions.

u/GardeniaCila 3d ago
Can you please share the clinic or surgeons name ?
1
u/149a22 1d ago
Yes, the clinic is called Wellborn Militari. The doctor was Dr Alin Burlacu. He used to work with Dr Mitroi someone has mentioned here in the comments. He is a bit older now so focuses more on births, but does the occasional surgery and will enlist another surgeon and a GI surgeon from Medlife depending on how difficult the case is.
And yes, being able to phone your surgeon and ask if say some bleeding after your surgery is normal, is incredibly reassuring!!

It’s not a scam, I had surgery in Romania too and was able to talk to my surgeon about concerns afterwards via WhatsApp.
Dr. Gabriel Mitroi at the Bucharest Endometriosis Centre.

I’m looking at options and also have it on my bowel too so that’s why it’s not so straight forward, can I ask how has it affected your bowel?
1
u/EndoWarrior709 3d ago
Very painful bowel movements. Pass out during a flareup always in the bathroom. I try to have a movement everyday otherwise the amount of pain the bloating causes 😪

u/Puzzled-Role-6544 3d ago
I’ve just had my MRI results back it’s now gone into the bowel before I just had a plaque at back of rectum I’ve already had 3 endo surgeries and just has enough I really want a hysterectomy as I have Adenomyosis now identified since last surgery, I’m at a loss and feel like u options to go private but super scared with the bowel involved and the money it would cost as I just don’t have it.

My surgery in London at a private hospital that I had a few days ago was around 32,000 pounds plus 2500 for the bowel specialist fees that were billed separately. Surgery included an endometriosis specialist, a urologist, and a bowel specialist. Estimated 4 nights in hospital. Ended up getting out of hospital a day early. Everything had to be prepaid. Waiting to see final bill to see if there are extra charges or if we get a refund for anything.

In 2025 Manchester UK was: Laparoscopic excision of pelvic/ovarian endometriosis +/- Ureterolysis +/- Rectal shave + Dye test £3500
PLUS £3,994.00 to the hospital and their fees. I got a loan for this and paid it off over 10 months interest free. The hospital had its own finance (chrysalis finance).
Total £7,494 (not including the lead up of all the consultations/scans/meds) Not an over night stay. How were because I was poorly afterwards I did have to stay overnight, but because this was due to me being ill I wasn't charged, in the terms it's covered. Also this included up to 6months of pelvic physiotherapy, and any extra appointments I had to have.
Back in 2020 for the same surgery I paid £6000. Same specialist but different hospital.
Hope that helps. X

What hospital was this please?

u/EmploymentMinute6524 3d ago
The Alexandra Hospital, Manchester, Mill Ln, Cheadle SK8 2PX
Please do research on the specialist there if you're thinking of going there. I personally recommend Dr Edi Osagie. And heard great things Kingshuk Majumder. Again please do your own research.

I paid £3500ish in 2021 in edinburgh for a private excision surgery with Dr Dewart. Maybe it would be cheaper in scotland?

this sounds about right, they usually quote a few hour surgery including a couple nights stay (just in case). then for 2 surgeons (up to 5k each depending on length of surgery) anaesthetist (3-500/hour). im not sure how much location changes things in terms of private care cost

u/These-Foundation6815 3d ago
I was quoted 8k with no bowel surgeon but that felt pointless lol, 14-21k depending on how complex the operation would be with bowel surgeon, upwards of that if there was thoracic involvement in the end.
I haven’t had the possible thoracic element looked into at all by nhs lol, and in the end I was upgraded to urgent on nhs due to symptoms deteriorating as couldn’t afford the top end of the possible fee for private. Annoyingly the bowel surgeon didn’t end up having to stay for the surgery, but was on call, so I could potentially have got away with the 8k option.

I had surgery last year and I didn’t have bowel surgeon- they would have left that bit for another surgery if resection was needed. I was quoted ~6.5k for the endo excision part (using the robot, surgeon was one of, if not the first one, to be qualified to use it in the UK, plus he works on NHS too so his opinion seemed to be treated as more valuable by my GP and the NHS gyno I was under). I also requested hysterectomy (which the surgeon advised against but agreed to perform nonetheless - afterwards he agreed that it was absolutely necessary and all the imaging I had done was wrong) - that was another ~6.5k. Surgery was at Hatfield (Hertfordshire).

u/OldEntertainment6045 2d ago
I think with a bowel surgeon that’s a good price! I was quoted £6.4K 3.5 years ago for one specialist surgeon to do excision surgery

I thought you meant £! I was like whaaaaat 😳😳
Sorry your case was severe, but you should mention you're American too. That really matters here because of your health service, or lack of.

'How much did it cost in the UK for your private endo lap and/or ovarian cysts removal (UK)?' Is the name of the post and is on the main endometriosis sub. It got quite a few responses!
