How much does intestinal polyp surgery cost

Bowel polyps are categorized as rectal polyps and colon polyps. Their surgical methods and anesthesia methods are very different, and the difference in surgical costs is also very large. Rectal polyps are usually removed under local anesthesia because they are closer to the anal opening, and the cost of the surgery is relatively low at about$500. Colon polyps are different. Because the pain is more intense, colon polyps need to be operated under general anesthesia. Removed under colonoscopy, the surgery costs around$3,000. If the colon polyp is larger than 2cm or if there are many polyps, the surgery cannot be performed under colonoscopy, and it is necessary to open the abdomen, cut open the intestines for polypectomy, or directly remove the intestinal segment with polyps and anastomose the colon to the colon, and the cost of the surgery will be about$10,000.
