[|Human|] Hi, my father is suffering with pain at spinal cord . He has gone under some tests and as per reports they said that there is flesh on spinal cord which is unwanted. THey also said that it is not anything related to cancer but should go under surgery to remove the flush and it costs 2 Lakh indian rupees. Is that the real price for surgery like that? Thanks hafeez
[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Most likely, there is a benign tumor, causing compression over the spinal cord. As the doctors have suggested, surgery is required to remove it. Otherwise, it may lead to weakness of legs. Surgery is expensive, and the costs range from 1-2 lakh rupees. If you get it done at a government hospital such as AIMS New Delhi or PRIMER Chandigarh, then the cost would be on the lower side. If done at a private hospital, it would be on the higher side. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.
