How much does a 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 would like 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 you'd better ask the hospital.
Treatment condition and effect: On August 9, 2009, tracheostomy was performed after surgery. After treatment at the regional hospital and the Second People's Hospital of the Province, the patient's blood pressure and blood sugar are now under control within the normal range. However, hydrocephalus cannot be controlled after four drainage procedures. After the drainage tubes are removed, the condition can only be maintained for 15-20 days. Examination of cerebrospinal fluid shows that only the protein level is above 2.5, while other indicators are normal. The trachea remains unsealed due to excessive sputum, and no infection has been detected after sputum culture. The patient is currently unconscious and bedridden, without symptoms of delirium or convulsions.
