Itemized Cost Breakdown
Understanding where your money goes eliminates unexpected expenses at discharge. An all-inclusive surgical package at DHS Multispecialty Hospital covers the following components:
- Artificial Implant Joint (40% – 50% of Package) — US-FDA approved implants (e.g., Johnson & Johnson ATTUNE) regulated under government NPPA ceiling rates.
- Operation Theatre & Robotic Tech Fee (20% – 25%) — Sterile laminar airflow OT charges, consumable surgical drapes, and optical robotic tracking console utilization.
- Surgeon & Anesthesiologist Professional Fees (15% – 20%) — Surgical execution by Dr. Hardik Shah, dedicated assistant surgeon fees, and continuous intraoperative monitoring by senior anesthesiologists.
- Hospital Stay & Room Rent (10% – 15%) — Room charges (Deluxe, Private, or Semi-Private), nursing care, and daily consultant visit charges.
- In-Hospital Physiotherapy & Diagnostics (5% – 10%) — Routine pre-op blood work, ECG, chest X-rays, digital post-op X-rays, and bedside physical therapy sessions.
How the VELYS™ Imageless System Reduces Total Out-of-Pocket Expenses
While robotic surgery is often assumed to be significantly more expensive, the J&J VELYS Imageless System yields notable long-term and short-term cost efficiencies:
- ₹0 Pre-Operative CT Scan — VELYS uses real-time intraoperative optical mapping, eliminating the ₹12,000–15,000 pre-op CT scan cost (and associated radiation).
- Shorter Hospital Stay → Lower Room Rent — 48-hour discharge vs. 3–5 days standard, reducing room and nursing charges by ₹40,000–60,000.
- Reduced Revision Risk — Superior sub-millimeter joint alignment lowers the lifetime revision rate from ~15% (conventional) to <5% (robotic), eliminating a second surgery that would cost ₹2,50,000–3,50,000 again.
- Faster Return to Daily Living — Minimally invasive optical guidance means less soft-tissue trauma, faster physiotherapy progression, and quicker return to work/hobbies (fewer lost wages / productivity loss).
