The cost of cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) in Germany typically ranges from $6,500 to $11,500. Prices vary depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s experience, whether the procedure is laparoscopic or open, and if it’s an emergency or planned surgery. In the United States, the average cost is $19,000 (per ASCRS). Cholecystectomy in Germany is about 53% less expensive than in the U.S.
German hospitals usually include pre-op evaluation, anesthesia, the surgery itself (often laparoscopic), hospital stay, medications, and post-op follow-up in the price. In the U.S., anesthesia, hospital stay, and pathology are often billed separately from the surgeon’s fee. Always confirm exactly what each clinic includes in their quoted price.
