How much does it really cost to have an ordinary appendix surgery?

I'm currently interning in a tertiary hospital in Guangzhou, and if the appendix surgery, again, is acute, including its pre-operative preparations, such as blood draws and so on, the average hospitalization cost is around 4,000 yuan, while the hospitalization cost in a secondary hospital is around 3,000 yuan, and the average cost in a private hospital is around 2,000 yuan.

If the cost is concerned, then of course private hospitals are cheaper, but if you want to do the surgery well and prevent any accidents, of course, you should choose a good hospital.

Why would a tertiary or secondary hospital be expensive. There are several aspects, the first, the operation cost to be more expensive on the 500 yuan or so, because senior hospital surgical technology is indeed better than the lower level of the hospital, and the chance of accidents than the lower level of the hospital is also lower, sterile technology is also much better, and the higher level of the hospital, the operating room equipment is also much better, an operating room equipment assets of course, a lot of high-grade hospitals than the following, the results of the operation of course, is much better. Second, in the preoperative preparation, to do fully, the direction of the examination is more targeted, unlike the next level of hospitals aimless examination, and check out the results and will not analyze, the result is not a waste of money. Third, in the operation discharge other accidents, such as the position of the appendix, not anterior, but posterior, or pelvic position and so on the situation, good hospitals are also much better way to deal with, and usually the incision of the operation is also smaller.

So, in summary, if your money is not too much and you want to remove your appendix, then go for a second class or private hospital. If you have more money, you may be able to get your appendectomy done beautifully in a tertiary hospital with lesser chances of accidents.

Of course, if you are acute appendicitis, severe pain in the stomach, do not go to choose a hospital, call 120. the nearest hospital as a principle, because acute appendicitis, is life-threatening, get it wrong, even the life, that and not come, right!
