Varicocele surgery varies in price depending on the type of surgery and the level of the hospital. Traditional open surgery costs about 8,000 RMB and minimally invasive surgery costs about 20,000 RMB.
1. Traditional open surgery: need to make an incision in the groin, half anesthesia or general anesthesia, the cost is relatively low, about 8,000 yuan. However, this kind of surgery separates blood vessels and lymphatic vessels under the naked eye and has a high recurrence rate, so it is less used at present.
2. Laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery: laparoscopic high spermatic vein ligation surgery, requiring general anesthesia, the application of more instruments, costing about 20,000 yuan. With relatively low recurrence rate and quick recovery, it is currently the main surgical method.
3. Microscopic minimally invasive surgery: surgery is performed with the help of a microscope, which has a very low recurrence rate, fast recovery, and few side effects on human beings.
Microsurgery is between the price of open surgery and laparoscopic surgery, and the cost of spermatic vein embolization may be even more expensive, thus limiting the promotion and application of spermatic vein interventional embolization.
Due to the different levels of economic development, medical insurance policies and charges in different places, the price of the surgery is not exactly the same, and you need to refer to the specific local situation to evaluate in terms of price.
