Abdominal tuberculosis affects the intestines, the lymph nodes and the lining of the abdomen. It is slow and vague at the start (abdominal pain, fever, weight loss, an unsettled bowel) and it is treated with medication, not surgery. Surgery is for what it leaves behind: a bowel narrowed to the point of obstruction, or one that perforates.
At Lux Hospitals, abdominal tuberculosis surgery costs between ₹1,00,000 and ₹2,00,000, depending on the extent of the disease and which complication has brought you in.
One band, for the surgical management of complications. The tuberculosis itself is treated with a course of anti-tubercular medication lasting months: that is the cure, and no operation replaces it.

estimated surgery cost
A stricture releasing an obstructed bowel is one operation. A perforation with faecal contamination is another, and a far larger one.
Multiple strictures over a long segment may need resection rather than a simple stricturoplasty, which changes both the operation and the recovery.
Abdominal TB imitates Crohn’s disease and lymphoma closely. Colonoscopy, biopsy, culture and imaging are how it is separated from them, and doing that properly is worth the cost of doing it.
A shared ward, a twin-sharing room or a private suite: the largest single swing in most estimates, and the one thing on this list you choose rather than are assigned.
A longer operation spends more theatre time and more of the anaesthetist’s, and a consultant with more years behind the procedure is charged at a higher rate.
Local, spinal or general. Which one your case needs is a clinical decision, not a preference, and it moves both the drug cost and how long you are monitored afterwards.
We are empanelled with most major insurers and file the pre-authorisation for you, so what is left to pay yourself is known before admission rather than at discharge.
Which of these apply to you is settled at the consultation. Until a surgeon has seen you and your reports, any figure (here or anywhere else) is a range rather than your bill.

| Abdominal Tuberculosis Surgery | ₹1,00,000 – ₹2,00,000 |
Every figure above is an indicative range, not a quote. After your consultation you are given a written, fixed-cost estimate, and that is the number you pay, with no additions once treatment begins.
The figure quoted to you is what leaving the hospital costs, not what entering it does. Everything below is inside it.
Important: Anything outside this list is told to you before it is done, not billed afterwards. If your case needs something the estimate did not allow for, you are asked first.
Your final bill may change if you need additional tests, a procedure for another condition, a longer hospital stay, extra medicines or follow-up care beyond what your estimate includes.
Ask the billing team which charges are included and which may be added based on your treatment needs.
Yes, most health insurance policies cover medically necessary hospitalisation and surgery. Our team assists with verification and cashless claims.
Coverage depends on your policy, the treatment approved and the insurer or TPA. Contact the Lux Hospitals insurance desk to check eligibility and understand any expected out-of-pocket cost.
This is a condition where the diagnosis is harder than the operation, and where treating it as something else does real harm.
Generally several days to a week, depending on the procedure and how recovery goes. The medication course afterwards runs for months and is managed as an outpatient.
