The cost of hydrocephalus surgeries and shunt placement in Spain typically ranges from $20,000 to $35,000. Prices vary depending on the hospital, the neurosurgeon’s experience, the type of shunt system (programmable or fixed-pressure), and whether the surgery is for adults or children. In the United States, the average price is $52,500 (per AANS). This means hydrocephalus surgery in Spain is about 48% less than in the U.S.
Spanish hospitals usually include pre-op imaging (CT or MRI), neurosurgical team fees, anesthesia, the shunt device, 2–5 days of hospitalization, and post-op monitoring in the package. In the U.S., shunt device costs, surgeon fees, anesthesia, and hospital stay are often billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included with each clinic before booking.
