The cost of intervertebral foraminoscopy is about 40,000 RMB at the Provincial People’s Hospital, which mainly includes pre-operative evaluation, equipment and consumables during the surgery, and post-operative care and treatment. However, in general, the preoperative evaluation is more involved because it is a minimally invasive surgery and requires a more detailed examination and evaluation. In the case of open surgery, the surgeon can have better scalability during the surgery, but the intraoperative scalability of foraminoscopic surgery is very poor. Without a good evaluation and good positioning, the surgery may not be performed. Therefore, the preoperative evaluation of minimally invasive surgery is very costly, in terms of effort, practice, and examination. There are also some special materials needed for this surgery, which is also a major cost for the patient. In fact, the surgery is relatively simple, and the patient can get out of bed the day after the surgery and be discharged from the hospital soon, so it is relatively simple overall.
