How Much Does Wedge Resection Cost in China?
Wedge resection in China typically costs from $5,500 to $9,500. The final price depends on hospital tier, surgical technique, and the city. In the US, this procedure costs $22,000 on average. Patients save approximately 66% by choosing Chinese medical centers. These costs generally include the surgical procedure, standard hospital stay, and basic nursing care.
- Hospital tier: Public Triple-A hospitals offer lower rates while private international clinics charge a premium.
- City location: Prices in major hubs like Beijing and Shanghai are often higher than in Guangzhou.
- Surgical technique: Minimally invasive VATS is standard, but robotic-assisted platforms add significant costs.
- Diagnostic tests: Pre-surgical CT scans and pulmonary function tests are usually billed separately.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Choosing specialized oncology centers in Guangzhou provides high-tier care at lower costs. Fuda Cancer Hospital, which is JCI accredited, offers treatments 2 to 3 times cheaper than Western Europe. They include free airport transfers and interpreters, reducing total travel expenses. For complex cases, Uni-asia Cancer Hospital features experts like Dr. Zhang Jinshan. He is a pioneer in interventional medicine with over 50,000 procedures performed. This combination of expertise and lower overhead makes China a strategic choice for thoracic surgery.

In general satisfied with everything, Therefore, I can safely recommend it
I chose this clinic after reading and looking at reviews. High-tech equipment and the approach of doctors, according to reviews in clinics in other countries offered removal of an organ such as kidney, in this clinic on the contrary to do everything possible to save, so I decided, in my country and in neighbouring Russia I could not make a diagnosis or explain what is there, suspicion of neoplasm, but I did not get a specific answer after all the examinations, here in Fuda clarified everything and explained in detail, made a complete examination, equipment is high level, in general satisfied with everything, p Therefore, I can safely recommend it.
When the test results came back and the doctor was happy to tell me everything was fine.
It's basically fine.

"In principle, the visit went very well, only good impressions remained
In principle, the visit went very well, only good impressions remained. Now there are certain problems, because doctors at home do not agree with the diagnosis that was made in China, but we were provided with professional help at the Food Clinic. Despite the fact that the full-time translator was on vacation and we took it on our own, the visit went very well. The rooms are very good, they look like 5 star rooms. As soon as we arrived, the nurses came to the ward, measured the pressure, helped in everything. In general, the clinic staff is friendly and helpful.

We are very grateful to the Food Clinic and Bookimed for their care, for the hope given
The stay went well, the doctor and staff inspire confidence. The ward is good, the main thing is that the attendant can always be with the patient. Given that Russia has refused us, we are very grateful to the Food Clinic and Bookimed for their care, for the hope given.

The coordinator was helpful and provide the information as far as possible. The hospital arranged a native Cantonese speaker who acted as a translator. This arrangement facilitated the communication. The consultation was abit rush as the doctor had other engagement and needed to leave for urgent duties. On the treatment aspect, hope to have more explanation and medical advice.
On request, the coordinator brought us to visit the wards and private rooms and that helped me to understand the environment if I choose to treat in Fuda hospital.
