The cost of uterine fibroids depends on the type of anesthesia used and may vary from procedure to procedure. Laparoscopic myomectomy, for example, may cost more, between$15,000 and$20,000. This is because of the cost of general anesthesia, which costs around$1,500; intraoperative supplies plus pre-operative tests and post-operative medications, which can cost around$8,000; the cost of the surgical site for the fibroids, which can cost around$3,000; and post-operative medications and anti-inflammatory, which can cost in the range of$3,000. The cost of open fibroid removal may not be as high, probably around$10,000. This is because the cost of anesthesia for open fibroids may be around$700; the cost of intraoperative supplies, postoperative anti-inflammation and hemostasis may cost around$6,000. Usually, laparoscopic surgery for fibroids is used because it is minimally invasive, reduces the pain associated with the postoperative period, and helps the body recover quickly.
