How Much Does Surgery Cost in Spain?

The cost of surgery in Spain typically ranges from $5,000 to $12,000. Prices can vary depending on the type of procedure, the clinic, the surgeon’s experience, and the complexity of your case. In the United States, the average cost is $27,500 (according to major surgical associations). This means surgery in Spain can cost about 69% less than in the U.S.

Spanish clinics usually include the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, operating room charges, pre-op tests, hospitalization, and basic post-op care in the price. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with anesthesia, hospital stay, and follow-up appointments billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included in your quote before booking.
