Patient: second lumbar hemivertebral deformity, not yet treated, how best to treat? Can it be cured? Guangzhou Children’s Hospital Orthopaedics Xu Hongwen: second lumbar half vertebral deformity, feasible half vertebral body resection, efficacy, will not affect the growth and development of children, the treatment age of one and a half years old is preferred, you can minimize the complications of surgery. Guangzhou Women’s and Children’s Medical Center Orthopedics Xu Hongwen Patient: Thank you! I will upload the examination film as soon as possible. So that you can better understand the condition. I would like to know how much does it cost if the surgery is done in Guangzhou Children’s Hospital? Is it possible to do this kind of surgery in Shenzhen? Xu Hongwen, Department of Orthopedics, Guangzhou Children’s Hospital: The cost is around 30,000 if you use domestic internal fixation materials, and around 45,000 if you use imported internal fixation materials. As far as I know, there is no spinal surgery for younger children in Shenzhen. Patient: Dr. Xu: Hello! I would like to know if this kind of surgery can be done well in one time and I don’t need to do it again in the future? What do you mean by minimizing complications? Do you perform this type of surgery more often? Are there many such cases? The doctor at Shenzhen Children’s Hospital said there are two ways to do it, either with a stent or surgery, but didn’t say when the surgery is done. So I came online to check and ask, thank you! I’ve only taken the film once, I’ll try to see if I can upload it tomorrow for you to have a look. Guangzhou Children’s Hospital Orthopedics Xu Hongwen: congenital hemivertebral deformity, stent fixation is ineffective. It’s all one surgery. Internal fixation does not need to be taken out, and it is now recognized that internal fixation materials have no effect on the human body and can be carried for life. Early surgery can minimize the incidence of spinal cord injury. Guangzhou Children’s Hospital Orthopedics is a specialized hospital for the treatment of spinal deformity in children. Patient: Hello, I am uploading the film now, maybe the picture is not too clear. It is divided into left and right view. I hope you can see it clearly. I look forward to your reply. Thank you! What should I pay attention to now? Xu Hongwen, Department of Orthopedics, Guangzhou Children’s Hospital: From your photo, it is a single hemivertebral deformity and should be operated early. Patient: your hospital can be reimbursed? I have bought Ping An insurance for him in Shenzhen. I don’t know whether you can reimburse there? Because we are out of town, no shenzhen hukou, now too small to do pediatric medical insurance. Only bought a commercial insurance. Guangzhou Children’s Hospital Orthopedics Xu Hongwen: About reimbursement, you must go to your purchase of Ping An insurance company to ask. Our hospital has a 10% subsidy of the total cost for poor families.
