The cost of discectomy in Germany typically ranges from $14,000 to $24,000. Prices vary depending on the hospital, surgeon’s experience, surgical technique (microsurgical, endoscopic, or open), and whether the procedure is inpatient or outpatient. In the United States, the average cost is $35,000 (per AAOS). Discectomy in Germany is about 46% less than in the U.S.
German clinics generally include pre-op consultations, advanced imaging (MRI or CT), anesthesia, the surgery itself, hospital stay (usually 2–4 days), medications, and follow-up visits. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with separate charges for anesthesia, imaging, hospital stay, and aftercare. Patients should confirm exactly what’s included at each clinic.
