The cost of a lobectomy in South Korea typically ranges from $16,000 to $29,000. Prices vary depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s expertise, whether the surgery is minimally invasive (VATS) or open, and the complexity of the lung condition. In the United States, the average cost is $82,500 (per AHRQ). This means lobectomy in South Korea is about 73% less than in the U.S.
South Korean hospitals usually include pre-op imaging and labs, general anesthesia, the surgery itself, hospital stay (often 5–7 days), post-op care, and follow-up visits. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with separate charges for anesthesia, hospital stay, and aftercare. Always confirm with your chosen hospital what is included in the total price.
