•  The cost typically ranges from $4581 to $18604. A chemical pleurodesis costs around $ 11224 whereas a thoracoscopic pleurodesis costs $18000. 

The economic implications of pleurodesis extend beyond the procedural fees. Several factors can contribute to the total expenditure:

• Length of Hospital Stay: As each day in the hospital significantly adds to the total cost, rapid recovery post-pleurodesis could translate into reduced expenses.

• Post-Procedure Care: Additional costs might be incurred through follow-up appointments, medications (like pain relievers or antibiotics), and potential complications that require treatment.
