Minimally invasive thoracic surgery is only a matter of surgical access, and the cost is related to the disease to be treated inside the chest cavity. The cost of lobectomy alone, in a tertiary hospital at the local level, is about 30-50,000 RMB, depending on the level of the hospital visited, the geographical location, and the policies of the hospital where it is performed. For example, in coastal areas or developed areas such as the north, the cost is higher, and in the less developed areas of the interior, the cost is lower.
