Question
How much does it cost to prepare for pediatric urethral rupture surgery?
Answer
Urethral rupture is a common congenital anomaly in male lower urinary tract and external genitalia, characterized by an abnormal position of the urethral opening extending from the ventral side of the penis to the perineum. This condition may occur alone or be accompanied by other complex issues, such as intersex disorders. Surgical repair and reconstruction are generally recommended to be performed early, even as early as six months old, to avoid any impact on the child’s physical and mental health. The cost of surgery varies depending on the severity of the malformation, and it may generally require tens of thousands of New Taiwan Dollars.
