The cost of a nephrectomy with Da Vinci Robot in South Korea typically ranges from $16,000 to $25,200. Prices vary depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s experience with robotic systems, and the complexity (partial vs. radical nephrectomy). In the United States, the average cost is $55,000 (per AUA data). This means robotic nephrectomy in South Korea is about 63% less than in the U.S.
South Korean hospitals usually include pre-op tests, general anesthesia, use of the Da Vinci robot, surgical team fees, hospital stay (2–5 days), medications, and post-op follow-up in the price. In the U.S., hospital, anesthesia, and robotic fees are often billed separately from the surgeon’s fee. Always confirm with your chosen clinic what’s included in the total cost.
