The cost of nephrectomy in Spain typically ranges from $15,000 to $22,000. Prices can vary depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s experience, whether it’s a partial or total nephrectomy, and if the procedure is open or laparoscopic. In the United States, the average cost is $50,000 (per AUA). Nephrectomy in Spain is generally about 63% less than in the U.S.
Spanish hospitals usually include pre-op tests, general anesthesia, the surgical procedure, hospital stay (often 3–7 days), medications during hospitalization, and follow-up visits in the price. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with anesthesia, hospital stay, and post-op care billed separately. Always confirm what’s included with your chosen clinic.
