How much you can expect to pay out of pocket for herniated disc surgery, including what people paid in 2017. For patients not covered by health insurance, herniated disc surgery can cost between $20,000 and $50,000 or more, including the surgeon's fee, anesthesiologist and facility fee. 1  A minimally invasive outpatient microdiscectomy would typically fall on the lower end, while an inpatient open discectomy with a hospital stay would fall on the higher end.

This means that you could obtain 14 entire fat sucking operations for the cost of a single intervertebral disc operation, for example. The unfortunate part for patients is only that their health insurance will not cover aesthetic surgeries such as penis enlargement, meaning that the patient will have to personally bear the costs.
