Patient's question:
My congenital preauricular fistula has been there for three years. I have been treated for it before, but it keeps getting inflamed now. I want to have surgery. How much does the surgery for congenital preauricular fistula cost?Doctor's answer:
The cost of surgery for congenital preauricular fistula varies depending on the hospital. Previously, anti-inflammatory treatment did not require hospitalization, and the cost of the anti-inflammatory medication was significantly lower. After completing the anti-inflammatory treatment, hospitalization was required for the surgery. The surgery itself took less than an hour, and postoperative medication changes were needed for two days, followed by suture removal on the seventh day. According to the charging standards of tertiary hospitals, the cost ranges approximately from 1,000 to 3,000.
