Question

How much does a disk herniation surgery cost?

Answer 1

Nowadays there are micro procedures that could save thousands. ( I had a microdiskectomy and was home the same day; most outstanding surgery I've ever had.)

Answer 2

It depends on what type of surgery. If you're having a simple laminectomy, about $40,000. If you require a more extensive surgery with fusion and hardware, it can cost well into the hundreds of thousands.

I had my first spine surgery when I was seventeen. My disks were removed from T2 to L3, and I have C-D Instrumentation and fusion. That surgery and hospitalization cost more than $200,000.
