The cost of a pneumonectomy in Germany typically ranges from $45,000 to $65,000. Prices vary depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s experience, whether the surgery is open or minimally invasive (VATS), and the complexity of the case. In the United States, the average cost is $140,000 (per AHRQ). This means pneumonectomy in Germany can be about 61% less expensive than in the U.S.
German hospitals usually include pre-op diagnostics, the surgery itself, anesthesia, ICU care if needed, 5–10 days of hospitalization, post-op imaging, and follow-up visits. In the U.S., the base price often covers only the surgeon and OR, with separate charges for anesthesia, ICU, and aftercare. Always confirm exactly what’s included at each clinic.
