How much does throat polyp surgery cost?

Generally speaking, throat polyps refer to laryngeal polyps. The cost of laryngeal polyp surgery typically ranges from 5,000 to 20,000 yuan per procedure, but may be influenced by factors such as the size and location of the polyp, the surgical method used, regional differences, and postoperative medication. Actual pricing is best confirmed with local hospitals. A detailed breakdown is as follows:

1. Size of the Polyp

If the polyp is small and the surgery is relatively simple, the cost is generally between 5,000 and 10,000 yuan per procedure. If the polyp is large and involves a wider area, the cost typically ranges from 10,000 to 20,000 yuan per procedure.

2. Location of the Polyp

If the polyp is located in an easily accessible area, such as on the surface of the vocal cords, the cost is usually around 5,000 to 12,000 yuan per procedure. If it is located deep within the throat or in a difficult-to-reach area, the cost may range from 10,000 to 20,000 yuan per procedure.

3. Surgical Method

If traditional laryngotomy is used, the cost generally ranges from 8,000 to 20,000 yuan per procedure. For minimally invasive endoscopic surgery, the cost typically ranges from 5,000 to 15,000 yuan per procedure.

4. Regional Differences

In first-tier cities, the cost is generally higher, ranging from 8,000 to 20,000 yuan per procedure. In second-tier cities, the typical range is 6,000 to 16,000 yuan per procedure. In third-tier cities and smaller cities, the cost generally ranges from 5,000 to 13,000 yuan per procedure.

5. Postoperative Medication

If only basic anti-inflammatory and anti-edema medications are needed after surgery, the cost generally ranges from 5,000 to 15,000 yuan per procedure. If special medications or prolonged drug therapy are required, the cost typically ranges from 8,000 to 20,000 yuan per procedure.

Once throat polyps are detected, it is important to seek timely treatment at a regular hospital, undergo complete examinations such as laryngoscopy, and determine the specific condition of the polyps.
