The short answer: surgery for womb (endometrial) cancer at private hospitals in Ahmedabad usually costs about Rs 1.8 lakh to Rs 4 lakh in total (indicative 2026 ranges, not a quote). The main operation removes the womb, the cervix, both tubes and both ovaries (hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy), often with checking of the nearest lymph nodes. The biggest difference in price is the way the operation is done: open surgery is at the lower end, keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery in the middle and robotic surgery at the top. For most early womb cancers, keyhole or robotic surgery is a good option, but it is not right for everyone. Robotic surgery is done at Sterling Hospitals and KD Hospital; Welcare Speciality Hospital offers open and keyhole surgery. Your written estimate comes from the hospital where the operation is planned.
Many families search for this as uterus cancer or bachedani ka cancer (बच्चेदानी का कैंसर) operation cost. For a side-by-side comparison of the approaches, see uterine cancer surgery options.

Endometrial cancer surgery (total package) — current range
Indian patients (INR): Rs 1,80,000 – Rs 4,00,000
International patients (USD equivalent): approx $2,200 – $4,800
Updated for 2026. These are indicative ranges for surgery by a gynaecological oncosurgeon at private hospitals in Ahmedabad (robotic surgery at Sterling Hospitals or KD Hospital; open and keyhole surgery also at Welcare Speciality Hospital). They are not a quote: the written estimate comes from the hospital where your operation is planned, after your reports have been reviewed.
What changes the cost of womb cancer surgery
Surgical approach
Open hysterectomy with staging: Rs 1,80,000-2,50,000. Laparoscopic (keyhole): Rs 2,20,000-3,20,000. Robotic: Rs 3,00,000-4,00,000. Keyhole and robotic surgery use small cuts and usually mean a shorter hospital stay and quicker recovery; their higher price mainly reflects the equipment and instruments used. Which approach is safest for you depends on your scans, the size of the womb, earlier operations and your general health.
Sentinel lymph node mapping
Modern endometrial cancer staging often uses sentinel lymph node mapping with ICG fluorescence rather than full pelvic lymphadenectomy. This adds Rs 15,000-25,000 but usually means fewer problems after surgery, such as less risk of leg swelling (lymphoedema).
Risk-stratified adjuvant therapy
Low-risk Stage 1 disease may need no adjuvant therapy. Higher-risk disease (deep invasion, high grade, lymph node positive) may need vaginal brachytherapy (Rs 60,000-1,00,000) or chemotherapy (Rs 80,000-1,50,000).
Fertility-preserving option
Selected young patients with low-grade Stage 1A disease who wish to have children may be offered hormone treatment instead of surgery at first. This avoids the surgery cost for now but needs close follow-up, with a repeat biopsy about every 3 months, and it is not suitable for everyone.
Genetic testing
Lynch syndrome screening is recommended for younger patients and adds Rs 15,000-30,000 if pursued.
How to get a personal quote
For an honest personalised cost estimate:
- Share your reports on WhatsApp at +91 76988 00333 (or via second opinion request).
- Dr. Nishtha reviews stage, complexity and any complicating factors.
- A written quote is prepared by the admissions team of the hospital where your operation is planned (Sterling Hospitals or KD Hospital for robotic surgery), based on the proposed surgical plan.
- If insurance is available, pre-authorisation is initiated at this stage.

FAQs on womb cancer surgery cost
Do these figures include everything?
The range covers the surgical or medical procedure plus standard hospital stay, anaesthesia, and routine pre-op investigations. It does NOT typically include: PET-CT (Rs 18,000-25,000), genetic/biomarker testing (Rs 25,000-60,000), maintenance therapy, or out-of-pocket travel and accommodation.
Will insurance or Ayushman Bharat (PMJAY) cover womb cancer surgery?
Most cashless cancer-care policies in India cover surgery for a diagnosed cancer under their standard benefits, but check your own policy. Some policies, and government schemes, pay only up to the rate for open or keyhole surgery, so part of the robotic cost may be out of pocket; ask before admission. Pre-authorisation is required and we assist with the documentation. The Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY, Ayushman Bharat) covers eligible families up to Rs 5 lakh per family per year.
Is surgery cheaper at government or smaller hospitals?
Often, yes. Government cancer centres and smaller hospitals usually charge less than large private hospitals. For cancer surgery, the experience of the surgeon and the team also matters, so it is reasonable to ask who will operate, how often they do this operation and whether the lymph nodes will be checked.
Can I get a written cost estimate before deciding?
Yes. After Dr. Nishtha reviews your reports (which you can share on WhatsApp on +91 76988 00333), the hospital admissions team prepares a written estimate with itemised line-items. This is provided before you commit to surgery.
Do you offer payment plans?
Most cashless insurance policies require no upfront payment beyond a small admission deposit. For self-pay patients, ask the hospital admissions team whether EMI or healthcare-loan options are available; they explain options during planning.
Is robotic surgery worth the extra cost for womb cancer?
It depends on you. For most early womb cancers, keyhole and robotic surgery give similar cancer results when both are suitable; robotic surgery can help in some harder cases, such as a very heavy body weight or earlier operations. If insurance does not cover the robotic part, keyhole or open surgery may be the better choice for your budget. Read more about uterine cancer care.
