What does salivary gland surgery cost in China for international patients?
Illustrative planning ranges are ¥25,000–¥60,000 (about US$3,500–8,400) for parotidectomy for a benign tumour and ¥70,000–¥170,000 for malignant tumour surgery with neck dissection and adjuvant radiotherapy. These are budgeting figures, not a quotation.
In detail
Ask whether facial nerve monitoring, pathology review, a short inpatient stay and any physiotherapy are included. If radiotherapy is likely after a high-grade tumour, plan for a six-to-seven-week stay rather than a short surgical trip.
