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.

Service provided was 1000/10
The staff at the hospital were all attentive to my needs and offered excellent service. Even though sometimes there was a communication barrier, they all provided me with the best treatment possible tending to all my needs. They were empathetic and sympathetic. I would recommend this hospital for any procedure you might need. The comfort level and cleanliness of the rooms was great. The fact that a family member could stay with you while you recover was indeed a nice touch as you need a familiar face during this time.
Overall, my experience was superb and I would recommend hospital and doctor with his support staff. Service provided was 1000/10.
Service and care provided by hospital staff was excellent.

I feel I was in very capable hands
My biggest worry was the recovery process, but everything has been managed so well. The surgeon and staff were incredibly supportive and professional throughout. My laparoscopic procedure went smoothly, leaving me with fewer than ten sutures, and I can see my incision is already healing perfectly. Of course, I’m still very tired, and daily activities like bending or lifting are the main challenge for now, which is to be expected. I feel I was in very capable hands. Based on the care I received, I would definitely suggest this clinic to anyone.
I was helped from start to finish with ongoing, clear communication. I felt safe and in good hands throughout the process.
The only comment would be that the nursing staff didn’t all speak English so having a good introductory knowledge of Spanish was necessary.
