Epididymotomy Surgery Cost in India

Q: Will epididymotomy affect my fertility?

Draining an abscess usually protects the testis. There can be some scarring of the epididymis on the operated side, but fertility is usually maintained if the other side is normal. Microsurgical procedures are designed specifically to restore fertility.

Q: When is surgery needed for epididymitis?

Most epididymitis is cured with antibiotics. Surgery is needed if an abscess forms, if the infection does not respond to treatment or if the testis is at risk.

Satyug Healthcare arranges epididymotomy at JCI and NABH accredited hospitals such as Max Super Speciality Hospital Saket, BLK-Max Hospital, Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, Medanta - The Medicity, Artemis Hospitals, Apollo Hospitals and Manipal Hospitals.

Q: How do I get a medical visa for India?

After you choose a hospital, the hospital issues a Visa Invitation Letter (VIL). With this letter you apply online for an Indian e-Medical Visa for the patient and e-Medical Attendant Visa for up to two family members. Satyug Healthcare arranges the VIL within 24-48 hours and guides you through the online application.

Epididymotomy is a surgical incision into the epididymis - the coiled tube behind the testis that stores and carries sperm. It is done to drain an epididymal abscess (pus collection) that has not responded to antibiotics, or to explore the epididymis in men with blocked sperm flow, sometimes combined with microsurgical reconstruction (vasoepididymostomy).

Cost of epididymotomy in India starts from USD 1200 at leading JCI / NABH accredited hospitals. Day-care to 1 day in hospital; total stay in india about 5 days.

Package	Cost (USD)	Room	Hospital stay
Epididymotomy (drainage of epididymal abscess / exploration)	1200 USD	Twin Sharing	1 day
Microsurgical Epididymal Exploration / Vasoepididymostomy	3500 USD	Twin Sharing	1-2 days

About the Procedure

The surgery is performed by a urologist / andrologist through a small cut in the scrotum under spinal or general anaesthesia.
For an abscess, the epididymis is opened, pus is drained and samples are sent for culture; a small drain may be left.
For infertility, the epididymis is examined under an operating microscope to find sperm and, if possible, joined to the vas deferens (vasoepididymostomy).
It is a short procedure, usually 30-60 minutes for drainage and 2-3 hours for microsurgery.

Purpose of the Procedure

Drain an epididymal abscess and relieve pain and swelling
Save the testis from damage caused by severe infection
Diagnose and treat obstruction of sperm flow in obstructive azoospermia

Diagnosis and Tests Before the Procedure

Scrotal ultrasound with Doppler
Urine routine and culture; tests for sexually transmitted infections
Blood tests: CBC, CRP, sugar
