How Much Does Lobectomy Cost in India in AUD?

In India, lobectomy costs typically range from AUD $7,543 to AUD $15,231. The final bill depends on the surgical technique used, the hospital's city, and the length of your stay. In Australia, this procedure costs around AUD $31,768 on average. Patients save approximately 64% by choosing accredited Indian facilities. These surgical prices usually cover the operating theatre, anaesthetic fees, and standard nursing care during recovery.

  • Surgical technique: Robotic-assisted surgery typically adds 20–30% to the cost compared to traditional thoracotomy.
  • Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS): This minimally invasive approach often costs more upfront but reduces hospital stay expenses.
  • Hospital location: Private facilities in major hubs like Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai have higher overheads than regional centres.
  • Pre-surgical diagnostics: Necessary PET scans and detailed diagnostic imaging are usually billed as separate out-of-pocket expenses.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Choosing a facility with high surgical volumes can improve outcomes and value. Global Hospital Chennai and Global Hospital Mumbai use robotic systems for complex lung interventions. Specialists like Dr. Raj Nagarkar have performed over 50,000 surgeries, providing extensive experience for difficult cases. Some JCI-accredited centres even offer integrated cancer care, combining surgery with advanced diagnostics under one roof.

Doctors of the clinic are qualified, speak English well. But the organization of treatment, that is, all these coordinators and translators already when you are in India, is a huge minus of the process. Simply huge. Expectations of everything and everywhere for hours, sometimes at times, poor awareness, a terrible accent on Russian, that one can understand a lot to the exact opposite, ignorance of medical terms, that is, only life can translate. I accompanied mamutna treatment, I speak English a little, therefore something accelerated due to this. One patient should not go, look for an accompanying person if other countries do not fit the prices for treatment. If someone is traveling alone or an accompanying person does not know English, the process will spoil your nerves. The very examination and treatment, surgery, everything is at a good level. But before the ability to organize everything painlessly for the patient, it will still come to BLK not soon. I do not know, as in other clinics in India, I think it's the same. Translators are different here, and the problems are the same. So in the whole country I think. But if there is no way out, you can entrust local doctors to the health. The patient is well fed in the hospital and the accompanying person. Chambers of any size isolate the patient with curtains around the perimeter, you see only the staff, but keep in mind that the multiple rooms are very noisy. Who prays in Arabic for the whole room, who sings the song, who plays the game with sound effects, who is screaming on the phone, because there is still no silence, people still have groans for the illnesses of people ... they do not do anybody for unconnected phones, loud talks and other inadequacy.

Everything is well organized there
Was on vacation in the state of Goa. Before the trip, he performed an operation to remove prostate adenoma, according to the results of a biopsy, he found signs of adenocarcinoma. In order to have different opinions, the doctors decided to consult with a local oncourologist from Manipal hospital. Ostap Bondarenko from Bookimed arranged for me to see a doctor. Before that, he attempted to contact the hospital on his own, but they did not respond.  Everything is well organized there. I like it. All questions discussed. Translator Svetlana first discussed everything with me and clarified the terminology. And then at the reception everything is available to the doctor translated my questions and his advice to me.  The doctor is very competent and explained to me all possible treatment options and the necessary research.
