About the clinic
Inguinal hernia treatment at Dr. Enrique Pliego's clinic in Cancún, Mexico, provides a full range of options. An initial online consultation is around $80. Traditional surgery typically runs $3,500 to $5,500, while a comprehensive laparoscopic repair package costs around $6,250. The surgeon is an American College of Surgeons Fellow with experience in over 900 procedures.
Diagnosis and Initial Consultation
The process begins with an online video consultation. This costs around $80 and is required for planning. Dr. Pliego reviews the patient's medical history and symptoms. He then determines the best surgical approach for their specific hernia.
Available Treatment Options
The clinic specializes in two primary surgical methods.
- Inguinal Hernia Surgery (Open or Laparoscopic). This covers both traditional open repair and minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques. The cost for this procedure is typically between $3,500 and $5,500. It includes the surgeon and hospital fees. The procedure involves a one-day hospital stay.
- Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair Package. This is a specialized minimally invasive option. It uses laparoscopic mesh repair through tiny incisions. The total package cost is around $6,250. This comprehensive package includes the procedure, all doctor and hospital fees, a one-day hospital stay, and three nights of hotel accommodation. It also comes with a free video consultation for follow-up.
Both approaches aim to effectively close the hernia wall. The laparoscopic method often allows for a faster recovery with less post-operative pain.

He's a very professional doctor, super accessible, kind, and friendly. He provides all the information and care you need. He has an interdisciplinary team that works hand in hand with him to follow a protocol (nutrition, psychology, and internal medicine). They perform tests and analyze your specific condition so you arrive in the best possible condition for surgery. During my stay in the hospital, he was very attentive to every detail, ensuring my optimal recovery. He discharged me after monitoring my progress. Since the surgery, he has been very attentive to my follow-up, maintaining good communication with the patient, as does his interdisciplinary team. He has made me feel very calm and comfortable.

Hello, I feel very grateful and very happy with my entire process before and after surgery.
The Dr. and his entire team always supported me, answering my questions, any ailments, or any discomfort.
They are always very attentive and helpful.
The care from his entire team, including nutrition, psychology, and the Dr. himself, whom I highly recommend, was without a doubt the best choice I could have made. He is very compassionate, not just because he wants to make a profit.
He examines you, checks you out, orders tests to see if you're a candidate, and cares and covers all possible areas to make the best decision and offer the best possible surgery for each individual.
I'm 56 days post-surgery, and I feel great. I still can't fully resume my daily life, but the recovery was wonderful with Dr. Enrique and his care! At the hospital they were very kind, they covered my legs with special bandages for any type of coagulation and my device to help me breathe more easily 🥰🙏🏻 I share some photos of me before and how I am now 56 days after surgery 🙏🏻 I highly recommend Dr. Enrique Pliego ❤️☺️

I am very satisfied with the results I have achieved just two months after my surgery. The changes have not only been physical but also in my health. The care provided by all the specialists has been excellent.
I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Enrique Pliego for his attentiveness before, during, and after the surgery. It has truly been a magnificent choice.

It is an excellent option. The doctor has extensive knowledge on the subject. He follows up and explains to the patient and adapts according to their needs. His techniques are minimally invasive and he works in a holistic way to achieve the patient's objective.
