For tonsillectomy, the cost for unilateral removal at a tertiary care hospital is$480, or$960 for both sides combined. A preoperative examination needs to be completed before the surgery, and the approximate cost of a routine examination is around RMB 1,000. If you choose local anesthesia surgery plus post-operative medication, the approximate cost is about RMB 4,000. If you choose general anesthesia for electrodissection, the general cost is around$10,000. The use of low-temperature plasma to remove the tonsils is a popular minimally invasive surgical method, and because these surgical instruments are disposable supplies, the approximate cost is around 4,000 yuan, so the overall cost will probably fluctuate around 15,000 yuan.
