How much is minimally invasive appendicitis surgery for children

The cost of appendicitis surgery in children varies at all levels of hospital and varies according to the type of appendicitis. Generally, appendicitis with perforation or suppuration is more expensive than simple appendicitis. Laparoscopic surgery for appendicitis in children requires a high level of skill from the anesthesiologist. The diagnosis of appendicitis in children is often difficult due to the imperfect development of the greater omentum, the infection is not easily confined, the appendicitis is easily perforated, and some children do not express their condition clearly, and often do not make it to the hospital in time. After surgery, the recovery of intestinal motility is slow and the wound becomes infected, which sometimes leads to higher hospitalization costs.
