The cost of a lobectomy in Germany typically ranges from $25,000 to $40,000. Prices can vary depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s experience, whether the procedure is open or minimally invasive (VATS), and the complexity of the patient’s case. In the United States, the average cost is $82,500 (per AHRQ). This means lobectomy surgery in Germany is about 61% less than in the U.S.
