Dr. Cao Zhiqiang
Laser circumcision is an effective method for treating redundant prepuce or phimosis. Using laser technology to precisely remove excess foreskin tissue, it offers advantages over traditional surgery, including less bleeding, faster recovery, and reduced pain. The approximate cost ranges from 2,500 to 6,000 yuan per procedure, with specific fees influenced by regional standards, anesthesia costs, and surgical complexity.
When the surgical complexity is low, the cost is relatively lower, generally ranging from 2,500 to 4,000 yuan per procedure. For more complex procedures, the cost increases accordingly, typically ranging from 4,000 to 6,000 yuan per procedure. In less economically developed cities, the surgical cost is relatively lower, whereas in more economically developed cities, the cost tends to be higher.
Patients are advised to consult local accredited hospitals or specialized medical institutions before deciding on surgery, to understand the specific costs involved, including surgical fees, preoperative examination fees, and postoperative care expenses. Additionally, factors such as the hospital's professional standards, the doctor's experience, and reputation should also be considered to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the procedure.
