The cost of deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in Germany typically ranges from $50,000 to $80,000. Costs depend on factors like the hospital, the surgeon’s expertise in neurosurgery, device brand (such as Medtronic or Boston Scientific), and the complexity of the patient’s condition. In the United States, the average price is $90,000 (per AANS). DBS surgery in Germany is about 28% less than in the U.S.
German hospitals usually include the initial consultation, pre-op assessment and blood tests, hospital stay with meals, post-op medication, follow-up visits, and 24/7 support. English-speaking staff and personalized treatment plans are standard. In the U.S., the price often covers only the surgeon and device, with extra charges for tests, hospital stay, and follow-up. Always confirm exactly what each clinic includes.
