A laparotomy is an incision into the abdomen: sometimes to treat something already known about, sometimes to find out what is causing it. It is the operation reached for when a tumour, an internal bleed, a perforation or a severe infection needs dealing with directly.
At Lux Hospitals, a laparotomy costs from about ₹90,000, all-inclusive. Because the operation is defined by the approach rather than the diagnosis, no honest figure closes at the top: what is found inside decides the rest.
Quoted as a floor rather than a band, and deliberately. A laparotomy is not one operation: it is access to whatever needs doing, and a planned procedure on a known problem is a different day from an emergency exploration at two in the morning. What your case comes to is settled once a surgeon has seen you and your imaging.
From ₹90,000
estimated surgery cost
The incision is the same; the operation through it is not. Resecting a tumour, repairing a perforation and controlling a bleed are different lengths of surgery with different consumables.
A planned laparotomy is worked up beforehand and booked onto a list. An emergency one carries out-of-hours theatre staffing and, often, a period in intensive care afterwards.
Two to five days is typical. A case that needs an ICU bed, ventilation or parenteral nutrition moves the total considerably, and that is the largest single variable here.
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.

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 indicated. We are empanelled with the major insurers and handle cashless claim processing, emergency admissions included.
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 major abdominal surgery, and what matters is the team around it as much as the operation itself.
Generally two to five days, depending on what was done and how recovery goes. Cases needing intensive care stay longer.
