How much does a tear duct obstruction surgery cost?
The cost of lacrimal duct blockage surgery is approximately four to five thousand yuan. There are many factors that affect the cost of surgery, including the surgical method, different regions, different hospital levels, and the level of the chief surgeon. During lacrimal duct blockage surgery, if cooperation with other departments is required and the surgery is more difficult, the cost will be higher.
1.
The cost of lacrimal duct blockage surgery is related to the surgical method. If the nasal cavity and lacrimal sac are anastomosed, the nasolacrimal duct is directly opened to form a passage between the lacrimal sac and the nasal cavity. The surgical cost is approximately 4,000-5,000 yuan. If cooperation with ENT is required, nasal endoscopy surgery can cost approximately 7,000-9,000 yuan. If the nasolacrimal duct is obstructed, most cases do not require surgery based on exploration. A silicone tube is placed in the nasolacrimal duct to open the obstructed part and removed after 3-6 months. The cost is approximately 3,000-4,000 yuan.

Lacrimal duct blockage is mainly due to the incomplete development of the lacrimal glands in infants and young children, which can lead to increased local secretions. If severe, it may also lead to infection, manifesting as redness, swelling, and fever. It is important to clean the surrounding secretions to prevent the condition from worsening. Hot compresses and massage can also be used to clear the lacrimal glands, which are beneficial for improving symptoms. If the condition is severe, surgical treatment should be sought at a hospital.
