We looked for a published price for spine surgery in Georgia and couldn’t find one. Not from the clinic, not from independent medical-tourism sources, not even a rough range. That’s worth saying plainly rather than estimating — a guessed figure for spine surgery is worse than no figure at all.
What is documented is the clinical setup, and it’s a real one.
What Is Actually Documented
| What’s known | |
|---|---|
| Dedicated spine centre | American Hospital Tbilisi’s Spine Surgery Center, led by Dr. Giorgi Gegia |
| Named spine team | Dr. Giorgi Gegia with neurosurgeons Elena Bezhentsev, Eugene Kisurin and Giorgi Kachakhidze |
| Conditions treated | Cervical and lumbar spine conditions |
| Accreditation | JCI |
| Hospital scale | 183 beds, central Tbilisi, built to US healthcare standards |
| Published price for spine surgery | Not found |
Why We’re Not Estimating a Price
Published spine surgery figures exist for the US (averaging $50,000–90,000 for spinal fusion), and general international comparisons sometimes cite $12,000–22,000 for a 1–2 level fusion abroad — but neither of those is a Georgia-specific, sourced figure, and attaching either to American Hospital Tbilisi would be a guess dressed up as a fact. We’d rather tell you plainly that the number isn’t public than invent one that sounds plausible.
What this means in practice: request a written quote from the hospital against your own imaging before you plan a budget around any figure you read elsewhere, including general claims that Georgia is cheaper than Turkey or Western Europe for comparable procedures — those claims exist, but they aren’t a substitute for your own quote.

Who Georgia Doesn’t Suit
- If price certainty matters before you travel. With no published figure, you’re committing to a quote process before you can compare — fine if you’re flexible, not ideal if you need a firm number today.
- If your case is complex or multi-level. A dedicated spine centre with a named team is a good sign, but ask directly about the surgeon’s experience with cases like yours specifically.
- If you want to compare published prices across countries first. Our Czech Republic spine surgery guide and Turkey vs Germany for neurosurgery both have sourced figures to start from.
What to Bring
- All spine imaging — MRI and any CT or X-ray — on disc, not just written reports
- Your referring specialist’s letter and specific diagnosis
- A record of conservative treatment already tried: physiotherapy, injections, medication, and for how long
- Current medication list, especially anticoagulants
- Any previous spine surgery details, including implant information if applicable
Getting Started
Ask American Hospital Tbilisi for a written quote against your imaging — that’s the only reliable number for this specific case, since nothing published exists to compare it against. See verified spine surgery clinics in Georgia, or ask our AI assistant.
