See your free wait-or-pay dashboard→Private endometriosis surgery in the UK is priced hospital by hospital, not as one national figure, so this page lists what named hospitals publish and what each guide price does and does not include. On the NHS the operation is free, but you wait.
What you are paying for
Endometriosis is usually treated by laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery to remove or destroy the deposits. A guide price is only as useful as what sits inside it: some hospitals quote a fixed package, while others quote the hospital charge alone and bill the surgeon, anaesthetist and first consultation separately.
Totals vary by what is included, so before you commit, confirm with the hospital whether the surgeon's and anaesthetist's fees are inside the figure or added on top.
| Group | Hospital | Guide price | What's included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Benenden Hospital | Benenden Hospital Cranbrook, Kent Surgery: Outstanding · inspected 2017 (CQC) | from £4,515 | States a "from" guide price for therapeutic laparoscopy including endometriosis; the page confirms inclusions for orthopaedic procedures only, not gynaecology |
| Hospital of St John & St Elizabeth | Hospital of St John & St Elizabeth London | £4,725 | Hospital charges only: the surgeon, anaesthetist, first consultation and diagnostic tests are billed on top |
| New Victoria Hospital | New Victoria Hospital Kingston upon Thames CQC has not published a current rating · last inspected 2016 | £4,950 | Fixed-price package confirmed after your first consultation; consultant visits before and after are charged in addition |
Guide prices sampled 28 September 2026. These are guide prices, published by each hospital. What a price includes varies from one to the next. Before you pay, confirm exactly what is covered, and in particular whether the surgeon's and anaesthetist's fees are inside the figure. Hospital ratings are from the Care Quality Commission.

Paying privately buys speed, not a better result: it is the same operation the NHS does. Whether it is worth it depends on how long your own hospital's queue is, and whether a nearby NHS hospital is faster.
