Endoscopic resection mainly refers to surgical operation under gastroenteroscopy. For example, in secondary hospitals, the cost of surgery for a single resection of a single lesion is around $800 to $1,000. The cost may vary depending on the region and the level of the hospital.
Due to the continuous maturation of endoscopic technology nowadays, gastrointestinal polyps as well as superficial and isolated lesions can be removed through surgical resection, lancing, electrocoagulation cauterization, etc. with the assistance of gastroenteroscopy. The lesions are further analyzed and diagnosed through pathology examination after surgery. Taking secondary hospitals as an example, the surgical cost for a single resection of a single lesion is around $800 to $1,000.
Compared with traditional surgery, endoscopic resection surgery has less damage, fewer complications, and better postoperative recovery. Moreover, multiple lesions of tissue can be removed at the same time during the surgery. Post-operative review is also easier, and another surgical removal can be considered for newly discovered lesion conditions.
However, although it is a minimally invasive surgery, there is some surgical damage. During the postoperative process, it is important to pay attention to rest and recheck as well as regular medication to ensure the smooth recovery of the surgical wound.
