The cost of hydrocephalus shunt treatment depends on the treatment period. Currently, there are two types of shunt surgery, a single shunt and a staged procedure. The cost of single shunt surgery is usually in the range of 50,000-60,000 RMB, with a short hospital stay for patients with spontaneous hydrocephalus and those whose cerebrospinal fluid composition has been restored to normal by cerebrospinal fluid purification treatment, while the cost of staged surgery is relatively high, mainly for patients with abnormal cerebrospinal fluid composition such as those with trauma combined with intracranial hemorrhage, post-operative aneurysm rupture, and post-operative intracranial tumor.
