The cost of a tonsillectomy in Germany typically ranges from $2,500 to $3,800. Prices can vary depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s experience, the use of advanced surgical tools (like coblation or laser), and whether it’s an outpatient or inpatient procedure. In the United States, the average cost is $4,600 (according to AAO-HNS). This means tonsillectomy in Germany is about 30% less than in the U.S.
German clinics usually include the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, hospital stay (if needed), pre-op tests, and follow-up care in the price. In the U.S., costs for anesthesia, facility fees, and post-op care are often billed separately from the surgeon’s fee. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your chosen clinic.
