The cost of lung resection surgery varies from region to region and from hospital to hospital depending on the type of surgery. If traditional open surgery is used, the entire cost from admission to discharge, including preoperative examination, surgery and postoperative treatment, is about$40,000 to$50,000 in a general tertiary hospital. If minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery is used, the overall cost will be 10-20,000 dollars more than open surgery because it involves the need to use a disposable cut-and-sew device under the lumpectomy. The lumpectomy surgical instruments are not reimbursed or reimbursed at a lower rate in many places.
