The cost of a discectomy in Mexico typically ranges from $8,000 to $14,000. Prices can vary depending on the clinic, the surgeon’s experience, the complexity of the spinal issue, and whether the procedure is minimally invasive or open. In the United States, the average cost is $35,000 (per AANS). This means discectomy surgery in Mexico is about 69% less expensive than in the U.S.
Mexican hospitals usually include pre-op imaging (MRI or CT), surgeon and anesthesiologist fees, operating room use, hospital stay (1–2 days), medications, and follow-up visits. In the U.S., many of these services—like anesthesia, imaging, and post-op care—are often billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included in your quoted package at each clinic.
