Diverticula are small pouches in the wall of the colon, common with age and usually silent. When one becomes inflamed or infected the result is diverticulitis (left lower abdominal pain, fever and a change in bowel habit) and repeated attacks, or one that abscesses or perforates, are what bring surgery into the conversation.
At Lux Hospitals, diverticulitis surgery costs between ₹3,00,000 and ₹4,00,000. This is bowel resection: a segment of colon is removed and the ends rejoined, and that is why it sits well above the other gastrointestinal procedures on this estimator.
One band, covering a resection done either laparoscopically or open. The difference between the ends of it is complication: a planned, elective resection after the inflammation has settled is a smaller undertaking than an emergency operation on a perforated colon.
₹3,00,000–₹4,00,000
estimated surgery cost
An abscess, a perforation or a fistula into the bladder each change the operation, and each may mean a temporary stoma rather than an immediate rejoin.
Keyhole resection costs more and recovers considerably faster. Dense inflammation sometimes makes the open approach the safer one, and that is a theatre decision.
Operating after the acute attack has settled is planned, shorter and safer. Operating during one is none of those things, which is why an elective resection is worth waiting for where it is possible.
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.

| Diverticulitis Surgery | ₹3,00,000 – ₹4,00,000 |
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 plans cover it where medically necessary. Our team handles verification and cashless claim support.
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.
Bowel resection is the largest operation in this speciality group, and the questions that matter are when to do it and whether it can be done through keyholes.
Several days, depending on the procedure and how quickly bowel function returns. Laparoscopic resections are generally shorter than open ones.
