The cost of Whipple surgery in Spain typically ranges from $25,000 to $45,000. Prices can vary depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s experience, whether minimally invasive or open surgery is used, and the complexity of the case. In the United States, the average cost is $117,500 (per AHRQ). This means Whipple surgery in Spain is about 70% less than in the U.S.
Spanish hospitals usually include pre-op tests, the surgery itself, anesthesia, several days in the hospital, ICU care if needed, and follow-up visits. In the U.S., costs for anesthesia, ICU, pathology, and post-op care are often billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included in the package with your chosen clinic.
