The cost of the ligation procedure may vary depending on the type of surgery and the type of anesthesia. For example, laparoscopic bilateral tubal ligation surgery, it costs between$8,000 and$10,000. Because a general anesthesia, plus the cost of tracheal intubation may cost about$1500. Adding the drugs used for the surgery, including the consumables for the surgery plus the cost of the surgery, it may cost between 3000-5000 RMB. If we also add the postoperative anti-inflammatory and preoperative examinations, these costs may be around 5,000 RMB. For open bilateral tubal ligation surgery, the cost may be between 5,000 and 8,000 RMB. Because of bilateral tubal ligation, the anesthesia used for open surgery is hemi-anesthesia, that is, combined hard and lumbar anesthesia, and the cost of anesthesia is about 700 RMB. Together with intraoperative drugs, plus the cost of surgery, pre-operative anti-inflammatory, post-operative drugs and post-operative anti-inflammatory, it may cost between 3000-5000 RMB. However, in general, it is recommended to undergo laparoscopic bilateral tubal ligation because the damage is less and the recovery may be faster than open bilateral tubal ligation.
