Orchiectomy is the surgical removal of a testicle. Males who have testicular cancer, or who are at risk for cancer can undergo orchiectomy with a urologist or general surgeon. An orchiectomy is a same-day surgery that requires very little time in the hospital. During surgery, the doctor will make a small incision above the pubic bone, and then remove the testicle by pulling it up through the inguinal canal. Some patients elect testicular implants to maintain the appearance of the scrotum. In the US, orchiectomy costs $3,000-$5,000. In the UK, the procedure costs about £2,000-£3,000. Abroad, urologists can perform this operation for much less.

In Mexico, Costa Rica, and Colombia, the price of an orchiectomy is under $1,000 or £700. Urologists and oncologists in Latin America study in some of the best medical schools in the US and UK. Patients are attended by compassionate doctors and nurses who speak English and work hard to make patients comfortable. Before surgery, the doctor will carefully examine the patient to determine where to make the incision on his lower abdomen. During surgery, the patient will be placed under general anesthesia. The total time required for an orchiectomy is several hours, and the patient can return home the same day. If the patient elects a testicular implant to replace the missing testicle, the cost is much less than in the US or UK. Patients will find no shortage of plastic surgeons and urologists who can repair the shape of the scrotum.

Tubal ligation is a sterilization procedure wherein a doctor cuts the fallopian tubes and seals the ends. This prevents sperm from fertilizing an egg, and thereby prevents pregnancy. Tubal ligation has a 99% success rate, and is a permanent birth control method for women who do not want any more children. ("Permanent" meaning it requires no maintenance; the procedure can actually be reversed.) Tubal ligation is safe and effective, but it is not inexpensive. In the US and UK, the cost is about $7,000 or £4,700. Abroad, the operation can be performed by a skilled surgeon for less than half the cost.

 

In Costa Rica, surgeons perform tubal ligations in sterile hospitals with modern equipment, using the most current minimally-invasive techniques. Hospital staff is caring and experienced, and doctors and nurses speak English. Many hospital workers in Costa Rica have earned medical degrees from the US and UK, and often attend professional conferences in the US. Patients can rest assured that they will receive expert care. After tubal ligation, patients can recover in a clean hotel with all the comforts of a resort. The total cost of travel, surgery, and lodging is less than the cost of a tubal ligation in the US or the UK.

 

Surgeons in Turkey perform tubal ligations for $1,400 or £1,000. This procedure is popular in parts of Eastern Europe, and Turkish surgeons are experienced in this field.

A vasectomy is a male contraceptive procedure that prevents the flow of sperm cells. During a vasectomy, the doctor cuts the vas deferens tubes that lead from the epididymis to the ejaculatory ducts. The cut ends of the tubes may be tied into knots or cauterized. The procedure is over 99% effective in preventing insemination, and it is reversible, should the patient later change his mind. In the US, a vasectomy may cost $1,000, and in the UK about £500. Abroad, this procedure is much less expensive. If a patient's insurance does not cover a vasectomy, the most affordable abroad options are Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Southeast Asia.

In Mexico and Costa Rica, a vasectomy may cost only a few hundred dollars or pounds sterling. The procedure is carried out in a clean, modern facility equipped with the latest surgical tools. Doctors in Latin America speak English, and can communicate with the patient to discuss the risks and side effects of the operation. Complications are infrequent, and the most common side effect is bruising at the site of the incisions. The operation only requires a few hours, and patients can leave the hospital the same day.
In Eastern Europe, vasectomies are very popular among males, and medical tourists will find no shortage of experienced and qualified doctors. As in Latin America, the procedure is very inexpensive, only $300 or £200.
