Open Prostatectomy Cost in Hyderabad: Complete Guide 2026
Open prostatectomy is a traditional surgical procedure used to treat very large prostates (typically > 100 cc) that cannot be adequately managed with minimally invasive techniques like TURP or laser. It involves a lower abdominal incision to remove the inner part of the prostate, relieving obstruction and restoring normal urinary flow. While newer techniques have reduced the need for open surgery, it remains an important option for men with massive prostates, associated bladder stones, or complicated anatomy. At Vivekananda Hospital, Dr. Arun Rathi and Dr. Surya Prakash B perform open prostatectomy with meticulous technique, ensuring safety and excellent outcomes. This guide provides a transparent breakdown of open prostatectomy costs in Hyderabad, what to expect, and how it compares to other prostate surgeries.
📌 Quick Facts: Open prostatectomy cost in Hyderabad ranges from ₹70,000 to ₹1,10,000 at Vivekananda Hospital (all‑inclusive). Hospital stay is 3‑5 days, with a catheter for 3‑5 days. It is reserved for prostates larger than 100 cc or when other procedures are not suitable.
What is Open Prostatectomy and When is it Used?
Open prostatectomy (also called simple prostatectomy) involves removing the obstructive part of the prostate through an incision in the lower abdomen. Unlike TURP or laser, it is not performed through the urethra. The two common approaches are:
- Suprapubic prostatectomy: Incision in the lower abdomen, and the prostate is accessed through the bladder.
- Retropubic prostatectomy: Incision in the lower abdomen, and the prostate is accessed directly without entering the bladder.
Ideal for:
- Very large prostates (> 100 cc) where endoscopic surgery may be technically difficult or have higher risk
- Men with associated bladder stones or diverticula that need to be removed simultaneously
- Patients with large median lobes or complicated anatomy
- When advanced laser or endoscopic equipment is not available (though laser is now preferred in many centres)
Not suitable for:
- Patients who cannot tolerate general anaesthesia or have high surgical risk
- Men with small prostates (< 50 cc) – TURP or laser would be more appropriate
Your urologist will recommend open prostatectomy only when less invasive options are impractical or when there are additional factors that make it the safest choice.

Factors Affecting Open Prostatectomy Cost
Larger glands or the need for additional procedures (e.g., bladder stone removal) increase operative time.
Longer stay (3‑5 days) increases room and nursing charges.
Higher room categories increase the package cost as shown.
Open surgery may occasionally require transfusion, which adds to cost (though included in the package if needed).

Pre‑Procedure Preparation
- Medications: Stop blood thinners (aspirin, clopidogrel, warfarin) 5‑7 days before as advised.
- Fasting: No food or drink for 6‑8 hours before the procedure.
- Bowel preparation: Mechanical bowel preparation may be given to reduce infection risk.
- Antibiotics: Prophylactic antibiotics are given before and after surgery.
- Arrival: Bring your insurance card and a family member to stay with you.
Recovery After Open Prostatectomy
Retrograde ejaculation occurs in most men after open prostatectomy, which is harmless. Erectile function is usually preserved, though a small percentage may experience changes.
Post‑Procedure Care
- Hydration: Drink plenty of water to flush the bladder.
- Avoid straining: Prevent constipation with stool softeners.
- Incision care: Keep the wound clean and dry; sutures are usually removed after 7‑10 days.
- Follow‑up: Schedule a follow‑up appointment 2‑4 weeks after discharge.
