The cost of stomach resection in Germany typically ranges from $21,100 to $22,300. Pricing depends on the hospital, the surgeon’s experience with gastric procedures, the type of resection (partial or total), and whether the surgery is performed laparoscopically or open. In the United States, the average cost is $85,000 (per ASPS). This means stomach resection in Germany is about 74% less than in the U.S.
German hospitals usually include pre-op diagnostics, surgeon and anesthesiologist fees, hospital stay, standard medications, and basic post-op care in the price. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with anesthesia, hospital stay, and aftercare billed separately. Patients should always confirm what’s included at each clinic.
