The cost of herniated disc surgery in Mexico typically ranges from $7,500 to $16,200. Pricing depends on the type of surgery (microdiscectomy, laminectomy, or endoscopic discectomy), the hospital, the surgeon’s experience, and whether spinal implants or advanced imaging are needed. In the United States, the average cost is $42,500 (per AANS). This means herniated disc surgery in Mexico can be about 72% less than in the U.S.
Mexican hospitals usually include pre-op tests, surgeon and anesthesia fees, the procedure itself, hospital stay, basic medications, and follow-up visits in their price. In the U.S., the quoted price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with anesthesia, hospital charges, imaging, and post-op care billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included with each clinic before booking.
