Here are the latest charges payable to the Nantes doctors for anyone considering this option:
PNMLT testing: 500 euros
Diagnostic block 500 euros
Multi-disciplinary testing 50 euros
Payment to Prof Robert:
Unilateral surgery 2,000 euros
Bilateral surgery 3,000 euros
Payment to hospital IF a 2-day stay 2,500 euros
Not quite sure how much the hospital stay is if it's longer, maybe 1,250 per day
Cost of treatment in Nantes
Re: Cost of treatment in Nantes
The schedule of fees here was posted pretty recently (Sept. 2010.) Has anyone gone and had surgery and found out it was more than expected (based on these rates?)
Has anyone been tested in Houston and then flown to Nantes for the surgery because of the hospitalization rates been so much more here in the states?
Thanks,
Ms. Rivers

PN pain post laproscopic vaginal hysterectomy. MRN diagnosed me with piriformis, sciatica, and pudendal syndromes.
Re: Cost of treatment in Nantes
I don't think the prices rise very fast in France, but I do know that it's common for patients who are self-pay to get diagnosed in Houston and have surgery in France. Hope this helps.
PNE as a result of childbirth, 2002. Treatment by the Houston team, with neurosurgery by Dr. Ansell in 2004. My left side ST and SS ligaments were found to be grown together, encasing the pudendal nerve.
I am cured. I hope you will be, too.
There are no medical answers on the forum. Your only hope is to go to a doctor. I was very happy with the Houston team, which has treated the most PNE patients (well over 400), more than any other US provider.

Re: Cost of treatment in Nantes
Celeste,
I am thinking of the possibility of surgery now since I have had PN or PNE for 1 1/2 years now. I only thought that France had good success for PNE decompression surgery. I was not aware of Houston having success until I read your post. Thanks for posting. I will now look into the possiblity of Houston. Just out of curiousity how long did it take you to recover from your surgery as far as the pain and any other problems. I already had 3 nerve blocks, MRIs, and other tests, so I guess I might be a good candidate for it since I have had it for so long now. Its amazing to me, when I see somebody on here such as you with PNE, saying they were completely cured. It gives me hope that I can one day be completely cured and one day drive again. Before your surgery, did you have PNE really bad? Was it hard for you to drive, sit, etc. all that time you had it? Sorry for so many questions. Take care and God Bless
