What Does Gall Bladder Stone Removal Cost in Hyderabad?
Nearly every gallbladder here comes out laparoscopically: four small ports, home the next day. Open surgery is priced lower and is reserved for the cases that need it: a badly inflamed gallbladder, dense adhesions from earlier surgery, or an anatomy the camera cannot make safe sense of.
₹70,000–₹1,10,000

What Changes a Gallbladder Surgery Estimate
-
Laparoscopic or open removal
Keyhole removal costs more and is what almost every planned case gets. A conversion to open mid-operation is a safety decision, never a billing one, and you are told if it happened.
-
Inflammation, and stones in the bile duct
An acutely inflamed gallbladder is a longer, harder operation. A stone that has slipped into the common bile duct needs clearing first, which adds a procedure to the plan.
-
Room category
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.
-
Surgeon and theatre time
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.
-
Anaesthesia
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.
-
Insurance and TPA cover
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.
Get Cost EstimateGall Bladder Stone Removal Options and Estimated Cost
| Treatment option | Estimated cost at Lux |
|---|---|
| Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy | ₹75,000 – ₹1,10,000 |
| Open Gall Bladder Surgery | ₹70,000 – ₹1,00,000 |
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.
What the Gallbladder Surgery Cost Includes
The figure quoted to you is what leaving the hospital costs, not what entering it does. Everything below is inside it.
- The procedure itself
- Consultation and pre-operative tests
- Theatre, anaesthesia and implants
- Room and nursing care
- Medication and dressings
- Discharge summary and paperwork
- Follow-up consultation
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.
What Could Change the Estimate?
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.
Is Gall Bladder Stone Removal Covered by Insurance?
Yes, most health insurance plans cover it. We are empanelled with the major insurers and support cashless claims, with the pre-authorisation filed before admission.
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.
