The cost of lumbar disc herniation is related to the surgical options, and the specific costs are as follows: 1. simple disc removal surgery or foraminoscopic disc removal surgery, which usually costs no more than 20,000 yuan; 2. internal fixation implant fusion surgery, which usually costs about 50,000 yuan to perform one segment of surgery and can rise by 10,000 yuan for one more segment. Currently, China has a better medical insurance policy and has included various surgical options for lumbar disc herniation in its medical insurance coverage. In the Guangzhou area, for example, patients pay less than 10,000 RMB out of pocket for minimally invasive surgery or small incision window decompression surgery for simple lumbar disc herniation. In the case of internal fixation surgery, the total cost is about 50,000 yuan, and the patient pays about 10,000 yuan or more out of pocket.
