How much does it cost to have surgery for congenital tenosynovitis in children?

The cost of surgery for congenital tenosynovitis in children is usually between 3,000 yuan and 10,000 yuan, depending on factors such as the region, hospital grade, surgical method, and postoperative rehabilitation costs. In addition, children's surgery also needs to consider anesthesia costs and postoperative care costs.

1) Surgical cost range and influencing factors

Most children with congenital tenosynovitis need a tenosynovotomy to relieve symptoms. Usually, the cost of surgery in a tertiary hospital is between 5,000 and 10,000 yuan, but some secondary and lower hospitals may cost between 3,000 and 6,000 yuan. The main factors affecting the cost of surgery include the grade of the hospital, the experience of the surgeon, and the complexity of the condition. For example, the cost of a simple operation will be relatively low, but if there are other complications or a more complex operation is required, the cost will rise.

2) Anesthesia and examination costs

One significant difference between surgery for children and adults is that anesthesia costs may be higher. In order to ensure the safety of the surgery, general anesthesia is usually chosen, and this part of the cost may be between 1,000 yuan and 3,000 yuan depending on the hospital's charging standards. At the same time, pre-operative health examinations are essential, such as blood tests and imaging examinations (such as ultrasound), which may cost 500 yuan to 1,000 yuan, depending on the examination items.

3) Postoperative rehabilitation costs

Postoperative rehabilitation costs include dressing changes, physical therapy, and other related recovery treatments. After surgery for pediatric tenosynovitis, regular follow-up and physical rehabilitation training are usually required to ensure normal recovery of finger function. Such costs may range from 500 yuan to 2,000 yuan. If there is infection or other problems after surgery, the cost of treatment may increase.

Based on the above, parents need to choose a suitable hospital and surgical plan according to their child's condition and financial conditions, and prepare the relevant expenses in advance. It is recommended to give priority to regular hospitals and fully communicate with doctors to understand all possible charges. Postoperative rehabilitation is also important. Pay attention to regular checkups according to the doctor's advice to help children restore finger function.
