How much does it cost to do a puncture in a hospital?

The cost of puncture varies depending on factors such as the level of the hospital, the site of operation and the equipment used. The price usually ranges from several hundred to several thousand yuan. It is recommended to consult the local hospital directly to obtain accurate information on the specific amount.

Puncture is a common medical procedure, mainly used for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, such as extracting effusions, biopsy or local drug injection, etc. Its complexity varies depending on the operation site, from simple skin puncture to deep puncture requiring image guidance, and the technical requirements and consumables used vary greatly.

For example, thoracentesis and abdominal puncture usually require only basic operations and are relatively inexpensive, while cases such as renal puncture, bone marrow puncture, or those that require ultrasound or CT equipment interventional assistance will be more expensive. Different regions and hospital levels will also affect charges. For example, public hospitals usually charge more transparently, while tertiary hospitals are often slightly more expensive due to their higher equipment and technology levels.

If you need to undergo a puncture, it is recommended that you fully communicate with the doctor first to clarify the surgical risks, cost range, and postoperative care. If you have any special questions, you can consult the hospital customer service in advance or register for specific details.
