The cost of colectomy (large bowel resection) in Germany typically ranges from $17,300 to $28,800. Prices vary depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s experience, whether the surgery is open or laparoscopic, and the complexity of the condition. In the United States, the average cost is $110,000 (per ACS). Colectomy in Germany is about 79% less than in the U.S.
German hospitals usually include pre-op diagnostics, the surgery itself, anesthesia, a 5–10 day hospital stay, pathology, medications, and follow-up care. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the surgeon and hospital fees, with anesthesia, pathology, and post-op care billed separately. Always confirm what’s included with your chosen clinic.
