The cost of thyroid resection in Spain generally ranges from $10,000 to $16,000. Pricing can vary depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s experience, whether the surgery is partial or total, and if advanced techniques like nerve monitoring are used. In the United States, the average price is $26,500 (per AAO-HNS). This means thyroid resection in Spain is about 51% less expensive than in the U.S.
Spanish hospitals typically include pre-op consultations, lab work, general anesthesia, the surgery itself, hospital stay, medications, and post-op follow-up visits. In the U.S., the quoted price often only covers the surgeon’s fee, with separate bills for anesthesia, hospital stay, pathology, and follow-up care. Always confirm exactly what’s included with each clinic before booking.
