How much does minimally invasive pulmonary nodule removal cost

There is no standardized cost for minimally invasive lung nodule surgery. It is related to the grade of the hospital, surgical consumables, whether there is a combination of basic diseases, whether there are complications, etc. The cost of minimally invasive surgery for lung nodules is not standardized. The general cost of the surgery ranges from 30,000 to 50,000 dollars. The common minimally invasive surgery is to remove the lung nodule under thoracoscopy. The cost includes the tests and examinations required before the surgery, including ultrasound, chest CT, ECG and blood tests, disposable surgical equipment and consumables during the surgery, as well as the cost of post-operative medication, which is roughly $30,000-50,000 yuan. If the patient’s pre-operative physical condition is poor, older, and combined with underlying diseases such as coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes, etc., the risk of post-operative complications such as bleeding, infection, and poor healing will increase, thus increasing the cost of treatment. If lung nodule surgery is required, it is recommended to consult the local hospital and be informed by the physician of the specific costs in light of the local realities.
