The cost of nephrectomy in Germany typically ranges from $11,600 to $23,800. Prices can vary depending on the hospital, surgeon’s experience, whether the surgery is laparoscopic or open, and the complexity of the case. In the United States, the average cost is $50,000 (per AUA). Nephrectomy in Germany is about 65% less expensive than in the U.S.
German hospitals generally include pre-op diagnostics, the surgery itself, anesthesia, hospital stay (often 4–7 days), medications, and follow-up care in the price. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with anesthesia, hospital stay, and post-op care billed separately. Always confirm what is included with your chosen clinic.
