How much does the cerebrospinal fluid drainage surgery cost?

Patient's question:

Hello expert, my colleague has this brain disease, and it's possible that his family isn't very wealthy. He is currently feeling very down. I want to know how much it might cost to have surgery for this condition. If possible, I would like to help him because he is pitiful. I want to learn more about it online, and I hope the expert can answer this online. Thank you very much.

Doctor's answer:

The price is uncertain, so it's best to ask the hospital. Regarding the treatment condition and effect: On August 9, 2009, a tracheostomy was performed after surgery. The patient was treated at the regional hospital and the Second Provincial People's Hospital. Currently, blood pressure and blood sugar are controlled within the normal range, but hydrocephalus cannot be controlled after four drainage procedures. After removing the drainage tubes, it can only be maintained for 15-20 days. Examination of cerebrospinal fluid showed that only the protein level was above 2.5, while other indicators were normal. The trachea remains open due to excessive sputum production, and no infection was detected after sputum culture. The patient is currently unconscious and bedridden, without symptoms of delirium or convulsions.
