The cost of artificial urinary sphincter implantation in Spain typically ranges from $8,500 to $13,000. Prices vary depending on the hospital, the urologist’s experience, the type of sphincter device used, and whether the procedure is a first-time implant or a revision. In the United States, the average cost is $30,000 (per AUA). This means artificial urinary sphincter implantation in Spain is about 64% less than in the U.S.
Spanish hospitals usually include pre-op tests, general or spinal anesthesia, the artificial sphincter device, the surgery itself, a short hospital stay, medications, and follow-up visits in the price. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with device cost, anesthesia, hospital stay, and aftercare billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your chosen clinic.
