The cost of foraminotomy in Germany typically ranges from $10,000 to $20,000. Prices vary depending on the clinic, the surgeon’s experience, the complexity of the spinal issue, and whether the procedure is minimally invasive or open. In the United States, the average cost is $27,500 (per AAOS). That means foraminotomy in Germany is about 45% less than in the U.S.
German hospital packages usually include pre-op tests, the surgery itself, anesthesia, standard implants if needed, 2–5 days of hospital stay, medications, and post-op follow-up. In the U.S., the base price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with anesthesia, hospital stay, and imaging billed separately. Always confirm exactly what your package includes before booking.
