How much is surgery for lung nodules

The cost of surgery for pulmonary nodules is not standardized and is related to the patient’s region, hospital, surgical procedure, underlying disease, and complications. In the case of pulmonary nodules, the cost of surgery is still relatively high. First of all, minimally invasive surgery, such as thoracoscopy, is more commonly used now, but the cost of thoracoscopy is relatively high, and there is no way to reimburse some of the costs, such as disposable surgical equipment, which costs about 50,000 yuan. Because the preliminary examinations are more expensive, including basic ultrasound, chest CT and basic hematology tests, the cost will often be around $2,000. The cost of surgery is higher, also around $10,000, but often the surgical equipment is more expensive and not reimbursable, costing around $20,000. Secondly, after the surgery, there will be the cost of the later treatment, which is around $50,000. If there is no minimally invasive treatment, but open-heart surgery, the treatment cost is slightly cheaper, with less disposable surgical equipment, and the approximate cost is around 30,000 yuan.
