Not neccesarily - I my cases (two lutes and a viola da mano) it was possible to open up the top just a few centimeters to inject hide glue and repair the loose bar. Not as expensive as I expected. Best wishes for your instrument - it always scares me to have to bring an instrument to the repair shop.
