Incontinence surgery cost in Korea
What stress incontinence surgery costs at Gangnam Podo Woman Clinic depends on whether prolapse is repaired in the same operation and on the anesthesia plan. This page explains how we quote, what is included, and how insurance documents work for foreigners and international patients.

How we quote
We prepare the documents international insurers typically require: an itemized English receipt, a medical certificate, procedure codes and a completed claim form. Whether a procedure is reimbursed depends on your policy; we provide documentation, not coverage decisions. Payment can be made by international credit card.
You receive a written estimate in English after consultation, or after a video pre-consultation if you want a figure before booking flights. It itemises the procedure, anesthesia, one night in a recovery suite, the follow-up check and the insurance documents. Prices follow the clinic's published non-covered fee list; international and Korean patients are quoted from the same list.
What changes the price: repairing cystocele, rectocele or uterine prolapse in the same session, and the anesthesia plan. Because incontinence and prolapse surgery are functional rather than cosmetic, many international insurers reimburse them, often with pre-authorisation.

Questions
How does this compare with prices at home?
We publish our own fee list and explain what is included; we do not quote other clinics' prices. Our cost-by-country guide lists published national averages with sources so you can compare.
Will the price change after I arrive?
Only if the examination shows something that changes the plan, and we discuss it before anything is scheduled.
