How much does it cost to have an appendicitis operation?

Appendicitis is an inflammatory change of the appendix caused by a variety of factors. If the patient has a clear diagnosis of appendicitis, the treatment is divided into conservative treatment and surgical treatment. Conservative treatment is prone to recurrent attacks and cannot be cured, while surgical treatment is divided into open appendectomy and laparoscopic appendectomy, which generally costs about 8,000 yuan for open appendectomy and about 12,000 yuan for minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. It mainly includes preoperative examination, anesthesia cost, surgery cost and postoperative medication, etc. The specific cost varies from hospital to hospital and from patient to patient, and is also related to whether the patient is transferred to the intensive care unit after surgery, whether there are other comorbidities, and whether there are postoperative complications. Therefore, the exact cost may vary.
