How much does cervical spondylosis surgery cost?

The cost of a cervical spondylosis surgery is about 20,000 to 100,000 yuan, depending on the type of surgery, hospital level, postoperative rehabilitation needs, and other factors. Common surgical methods include anterior cervical decompression and fusion, minimally invasive surgery, and artificial disc replacement.

1. Impact of surgery type on costs

The costs of different surgical methods vary greatly.

Anterior cervical decompression and fusion: This traditional surgery is relatively popular and usually costs between 30,000 and 60,000 yuan. It is suitable for treating nerve compression problems caused by cervical disc herniation or bone spurs.

Minimally invasive surgery: such as percutaneous endoscopic surgery, has small incisions and quick recovery, but the cost of surgery is relatively high, usually between 50,000 and 80,000 yuan.

Artificial disc replacement: Suitable for patients who need to protect the mobility of the cervical spine. The cost of the operation is relatively expensive, generally between 80,000 and 100,000 yuan. The cost is increased due to the high price of consumables for artificial disc implantation.

2 Impact of hospital level and regional economic level

The medical technology and equipment of tertiary hospitals are higher, and the cost of surgery is correspondingly higher, while the charges of grassroots hospitals are relatively low.

Regional economic differences also affect prices; first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai generally have higher costs, while second- and third-tier cities may be 20%-30% lower.

3. Postoperative rehabilitation and nursing costs

After the operation, postoperative rehabilitation, drug treatment and hospitalization are usually required, which costs about 5,000 to 20,000 yuan. For example, postoperative rehabilitation may include physical therapy for 300-500 yuan per session, and anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs for tens to hundreds of yuan each.

Before choosing surgery, patients should consult a doctor for specific advice based on their condition, and then decide whether to undergo surgery based on their own financial situation. Patients with cervical spondylosis should also pay attention to postoperative care to ensure recovery, such as avoiding recurrence of the disease through reasonable exercise and daily maintenance.
