The cost of lymphadenectomy in Germany typically ranges from $12,000 to $20,000. Prices vary depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s experience, the number of lymph nodes removed, and whether the procedure is open or minimally invasive. In the United States, the average cost is $25,000 (per ACS). This means lymphadenectomy in Germany can be about 36% less expensive than in the U.S.
German hospitals generally include pre-op diagnostics, surgery, anesthesia, hospital stay, pathology analysis, and follow-up visits in the price. In the U.S., anesthesia, pathology, and post-op care are often billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s covered at your chosen clinic.
