Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin of the penis. It is performed for medical conditions like phimosis, recurrent infections, or for personal/religious reasons.
The cost depends on the technique used. Conventional circumcision is the cheapest option, while stapler circumcision and laser techniques cost more but offer less bleeding and faster healing.
Stapler circumcision offers the best cosmetic results and fastest healing. Conventional surgery is effective and cheapest. Your surgeon will recommend based on your case.
Is circumcision covered by insurance?
Circumcision for medical reasons (phimosis, recurrent infections) is covered by insurance. Circumcision for non-medical reasons is usually not covered.
How long is the recovery period?
Most patients recover fully within 2-3 weeks. Stitches dissolve on their own. Light activities can be resumed in 3-5 days.

Prices depend on the case. Call or WhatsApp us with your report or prescription for an exact estimate, or walk in 24x7 at R.K. Hospital, Indrapuri, near Bima Hospital.
An estimate for laparoscopic surgery, preparation and recovery is useful only when the proposed service is clear. Bring the diagnosis or prescription and ask which procedure, test or consultation the quote covers. A price for a routine planned visit may not apply when additional treatment, a complication or an emergency changes the plan.
Ask for an itemised explanation of consultation, investigations, procedure or theatre fees, anaesthesia, consumables, medicines and room charges where relevant. Confirm whether a follow-up visit is included and what could change the total. Keep the written estimate with the treatment recommendation so you can compare like-for-like services.
For insurance or a government scheme, ask the hospital to check eligibility and authorisation for the specific treatment. A card or policy does not establish coverage for every service. Clarify deposits, exclusions and how charges outside the approved amount will be explained before a planned admission.

The assessment before a treatment decision
Before an operation, the surgeon and anaesthesia team consider the procedure and the patient’s health. Required tests and any physician review should be explained. A single standard package cannot substitute for risk assessment.
What should I confirm before accepting a treatment or test estimate?
Confirm the exact service, what is included, what may be charged separately, follow-up arrangements and how a longer stay or additional treatment changes the estimate. Insurance approval and policy exclusions should be checked for the individual case.
