Approximate cost of open-heart surgery

How much a craniotomy costs depends on which type of craniotomy the patient is having. If the patient has an epidural hematoma and has a simple craniotomy to remove the hematoma, the cost of the surgery is about$30,000. If the patient has an acute subdural hematoma and has a cranial hematoma removal surgery as well as a cranial debridement decompression surgery, the cost of the surgery is about$40,000. If the patient has a simple intracranial tumor, the cost of the surgery is about RMB 30,000 for a craniotomy without the use of a microscope. If a surgical microscope is used, the cost of surgery will be an additional RMB 2,000. For all surgeries, if a nerve patch is used during the surgery, the cost of the surgery will increase by another 7,000 RMB. If the patient has a craniotomy for brain hemorrhage, the cost of surgery is about 50,000 RMB.
