In county hospitals, pediatric hernia repair surgery costs about $3,000-$6,000, depending on the condition. The cost of pediatric hernia surgery varies depending on the difficulty of the operation of the surgical method. Since the abdominal strength of a pediatric patient increases with age and growth, pediatric hernia surgery is usually performed only for high ligation of the hernia sac. The clinical practice now includes two surgical methods: traditional high inguinal incision hernia sac ligation and laparoscopic-assisted high hernia sac ligation. The latter costs about $1,000-$2,000 more than the traditional surgical method, but the latter is less traumatizing and faster to recover from surgery. The price of pediatric hernia repair varies among different levels of hospitals. Please consult the pediatric surgery clinic of your local hospital for the relevant charges and choose the appropriate surgical method according to your child’s physical condition.
