FAQ about Meniscus tear Treatment in Republic of Korea

How much does meniscus surgery cost?

The price of meniscus surgery depends on:

  • Type of surgical access. Doctors perform the intervention through several thin punctures in the skin (endoscopically) or through a single incision of about 5 cm (open operation). In the first case, the price will be higher, since such a procedure is technically more complicated.
  • Operation type. Doctors may align, stitch, or remove the meniscus of the knee. The price for different procedures will vary.
  • duration of rehabilitation. After endoscopic intervention, it is no more than a week, after open - from 10 days. All this time, the patient must be in the clinic, so the duration and cost of the rehabilitation program affects the final cost of knee meniscus surgery.
  • Selected countries and clinics. Prices for medical services are formed taking into account the general level of economic development of the state. In a particular medical center, they depend on its type (private or public) and the services that are included in the price.

Leave a request on the Bookimed website to find out how much knee meniscus surgery costs in your case. At a convenient time for you, our coordinating doctor will contact you, who will answer all your questions about the procedure, help you choose the best clinic for you.
