How much does it cost to have kidney stone surgery

It costs about 10,000 yuan to have kidney stone surgery. Kidney stone is a very common clinical disease, which not only tends to cause repeated urinary tract infections, especially acute pyelonephritis, but also can cause the destruction of kidney parenchyma and kidney function decrement. Therefore, once kidney stones are found, they should be given timely treatment. Clinically, kidney stones are more often treated with surgery, but there are certain indications for the application of surgery. Surgery is more expensive, costing about 10,000 yuan, and is more traumatic. If the stones are small, other treatment methods can be considered, such as drug lithotripsy and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. These two treatments are less invasive, however, they require smaller stones: drug lithotripsy requires stones under 5 mm, and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy requires stones under 20 mm.
