The price of surgery to repair the skull needs to be determined by the material. The commonly used material for repairing the skull, a three-dimensionally molded titanium plate, also known as a titanium cohesive mesh, costs around$20,000, and is also based on the area of the skull that is missing; the larger the area, the more the material will cost. The surgery itself, the price is relatively constant, with craniotomies costing around$3,000-$4,000 dollars. Another part of the equation is the postoperative recovery; there are no postoperative fevers, cerebrospinal fluid leaks, or poorly grown skin that can delay hospitalization and lead to higher postoperative costs. Overall, if you apply a 3-dimensional molded titanium mesh to repair a skull defect, have a smooth surgery, and don’t have too many post-operative complications, you should be priced under$50,000 dollars.
