The cost of a 3-segment lumbar herniated disc surgery ranges from about $20,000 to $100,000, depending on the surgery. Lumbar disc herniation is the rupture or incompletion of lumbar annulus fibrosus, resulting in herniation or protrusion of the nucleus pulposus in the intervertebral space, which compresses the cauda equina or spinal nerves in the corresponding segments, thus causing lumbar pain, radiating pain in the lower limbs, intermittent claudication, urinary and fecal incontinence, and other symptoms. Surgery for lumbar disc herniation of 3 sections is mainly open surgery, with decompression of the vertebral plate and discectomy under direct visualization. After the surgery, there may be instability of the lumbar vertebrae, which requires intervertebral implant fusion with bone cement and nail materials, etc. Depending on the amount of materials used in the surgical process and the place of origin, the surgical cost varies from 20,000 to 100,000 RMB. The specific cost is based on the local hospital.
