Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / November 2006Prices: TURP vs. PVP
Does anyone know the comparable costs between a TURP and PVP? I am anticipating problems in getting the NHS to pay for a repeat PVP when my local urologist wants to do a TURP. Has anyone gone down this road? I really cannot afford to go private and don't consider it is my fault that I need a second op. Derry > Does anyone know the comparable costs between a TURP and PVP? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Derry The NHS accountants in their wisdom will say that a TURP is cheaper. They will not factor in the difference between day surgery and several days in hospital nor your time off work after a TURP.

I think I've seen prices for PVP at around £4,500 privately but haven't any idea about a TURP -- would anyone want one privately??

Derek. hello derry i have just paid just over £4000 for pvp in hampshire uk this was private at a hampshire clinic. hugh > Does anyone know the comparable costs between a TURP and PVP? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Derry > Does anyone know the comparable costs between a TURP and PVP? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Derry Murrayfield BUPA Hospital web site in Edinburgh, Prostate Surgery (TURP) from £3,700 to £4650.

That would seem to indicate that there is not much difference in the cost to the hospital, either. Bang goes the argument that a TURP is cheaper. Or does it? I suppose they would argue that an operation done "in house" is cheaper to the hospital than contracting out? Still, it is a point to make. Thanks for the information. Derry |
