How much does pneumonectomy cost

summary

My father has been coughing a lot in recent months, and he often says that his throat is uncomfortable, as if something is stuck in it. This situation has lasted for a long time. I can't stand it, so I went to the hospital to have an examination. I found that it was lung cancer, and the doctor said that I would have to have a pneumonectomy. Today, let me share with you the cost of pneumonectomy.

How much does pneumonectomy cost

Price factor one: everyone's condition is different, there are different treatment options, the drugs used in the treatment options are also different, so the cost is also different. Lobectomy is a relatively large operation. Even in county hospitals, it costs about 10000 yuan, while in provincial hospitals, it costs about 30000 yuan or 40000 yuan.

The second factor affecting the price: there are some differences in the cost of surgery. According to the local price bureau, the cost of lobectomy alone is $1580. It can be seen that the cost of surgery alone is not high. The treatment of lung cancer is mainly surgery, supplemented by other ways.

The third factor affecting the price: the cost of lobectomy is different in each region and hospital, which needs to be determined according to the actual situation of patients, hospital environment and other factors. It costs about 10000 yuan for hospitals at the city and county level, and 20000-30000 yuan for provincial hospitals. I think you can still have such a big operation in a provincial hospital. Safety comes first.

matters needing attention

Lung function should be measured before lung resection. If the preoperative vital capacity and maximum ventilation volume account for more than 60% of the predicted value, lung resection is safer. In addition, if the patient has chronic cardiac and renal insufficiency, it will be difficult to tolerate the operation.
