How much does stone surgery cost?

If the stones are small, the patient is advised to go back to drinking more water and bouncing more, and the stones will be solved without spending a penny. If the stone is slightly larger and grows on the ureter, the first thing to do is to take medication to remove the stone, which can be solved with a few hundred dollars. If it doesn’t work, you need to take extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, which is done once for 680 yuan, and usually 3 times to knock down the stones. If the stones are larger and more, you may have to do ureteroscopy, which costs about 6,000 yuan a time. Stones that are large and multiple on one side of the kidney will require percutaneous nephrolithoscopy, which may cost$20,000 -$25,000. If the stones are bilateral stones, it may cost$40,000-$50,000. So the cost of stone surgery is determined by the size, number and location of the stones.
