How much does it usually cost to have a congenital preauricular fistula surgery?

Patient's question:

Inflammation, pus discharge, once a month, usually heals on its own in about 10 days. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Never seen. What kind of help you care about: Want surgical treatment. How much will it cost approximately?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, congenital preauricular fistula is a common otological disease. Once infected, it becomes red, swollen, painful, and inflamed, and can recur repeatedly. Those without symptoms do not require treatment. If infection and inflammation occur, antibiotic and other anti-infective treatments should be administered, or abscess incision and drainage, local medication changes, etc., should be performed. After the infection is controlled and the local area has fully healed, the fistula resection can be performed. Before the surgery, a small amount of methylene blue is infused into the fistula, and a probe is inserted into the lumen to serve as an indicator. This cost is difficult to confirm, as there are still many potential complications after surgery that may require additional surgeries.
