The cost of a laminectomy in Germany typically ranges from $15,000 to $30,000. Prices depend on the clinic, the surgeon’s expertise, whether the procedure is open or minimally invasive, and if multiple spinal levels are treated. In the United States, the average cost is $35,000 (per AAOS). This means laminectomy surgery in Germany can be about 36% less than in the U.S.
German hospitals usually include pre-op imaging, general or spinal anesthesia, the surgery itself, hospital stay (often 3–7 days), medications, and post-op follow-ups. In the U.S., many of these are billed separately—hospital, anesthesia, surgeon, and post-op care. Always confirm exactly what is covered at each clinic.
