The cost of surgical treatment of epilepsy in Germany generally ranges from $40,000 to $70,000. Prices depend on the type of surgery (lobectomy, lesionectomy, vagus nerve stimulation), the hospital’s status, and the surgeon’s experience. In the United States, the average cost is $77,500 (per AANS). This makes epilepsy surgery in Germany about 29% less expensive than in the U.S.
German hospitals usually offer packages covering pre-op neurological evaluation, MRI/EEG diagnostics, surgery, anesthesia, hospital stay, post-op monitoring, and follow-up visits. In the U.S., costs for imaging, neuropsychological testing, anesthesia, and extended care are often billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included with each hospital before booking.
