Documented Overall Cost Range & Benchmarks
Total unilateral/bilateral DBS surgery pathway in top public tertiary centers ranges from 250,000 to 350,000 RMB (including rechargeable implant). Moyamoya STA-MCA bypass typically ranges from 90,000 to 160,000 RMB.
Device choices (rechargeable vs non-rechargeable DBS battery, imported vs domestic electrodes) and the need for prolonged SEEG phase-II invasive monitoring can materially alter total costs.
Scope: Admission for high-density VEEG monitoring, functional MRI / DTI tractography, PET-CT metabolic scan, and multidisciplinary surgical conference.
Financial Notes: Takes 3-5 days; verifies surgical feasibility and determines optimal stereotactic coordinates.
Scope: Craniotomy or robotic stereotactic implantation, intraoperative microelectrode recording, electrophysiology monitoring, and neurostimulation devices (DBS pulse generator / leads).
Financial Notes: DBS hardware is a major component (rechargeable dual-channel DBS device approx. 200,000 - 280,000 RMB in China).
Scope: Post-op neuro-ICU monitoring (typically 1-2 days), repeat CT/MRI lead placement verification, and suture removal.
