How much does HoLEP cost in Mexico vs the USA?
The HoLEP cost in Mexico is not a single number. How much HoLEP surgery costs depends on the hospital, the length of stay and whether you pay out of pocket or use coverage. That is why the price is quoted after a remote evaluation, with your tests in hand.
Approximate market ranges in Mexico: HoLEP is published at about US$3,000–4,600 ($55,000–85,000 MXN) and TURP at about US$2,400–3,500 ($45,000–65,000 MXN), depending on the clinic and payment method. These are public references from other providers, not Dr. Acuña’s quote [APPROXIMATE: confirm with the doctor]. HoLEP cost in the USA varies widely by state, hospital and insurer: we found no reliable published figure for the cost of the HoLEP procedure in the USA or a HoLEP cost (private, self-pay) there, while medical-tourism platforms estimate self-pay TURP at US$12,000–20,000.
For patients paying without insurance, the quote is your HoLEP cash price — a self-pay price for the surgery. A prostate surgery quote usually includes surgeon and anesthesiologist fees, hospital stay, operating room and supplies, and the pathology study of the removed tissue. When comparing, make sure quotes cover the same procedure and the same items [APPROXIMATE: confirm what the doctor’s package includes].
When you compare laser prostate surgery cost, compare outcomes too. With HoLEP in Dr. Acuña’s practice, the catheter comes out in 24 hours, discharge is at about 2 days and incontinence is under 1%. In TURP vs HoLEP cost, the difference depends mostly on hospital and stay — and HoLEP has no prostate size limit.
Some international PPO plans cover care in Mexico, so it is worth checking your policy before deciding to pay out of pocket. Send us your plan details on WhatsApp and we can help you review your coverage.

01How much is a prostate surgery in Mexico?
How much does prostate surgery cost in Mexico? The cost of prostate surgery in Mexico depends on the technique, hospital and stay. As a market reference, TURP is about US$2,400–3,500 and HoLEP about US$3,000–4,600. You get an exact quote after a remote evaluation.

03How much does laser prostate surgery cost?
The laser surgery Dr. Acuña performs is HoLEP, so the holmium laser prostate surgery cost depends on hospital, stay and coverage. When comparing enlarged prostate laser surgery cost between clinics, also compare whether tissue is removed or vaporized — laser surgery for enlarged prostate cost alone does not tell the whole story.
04Does Medicare cover HoLEP?
In the U.S., Medicare generally covers HoLEP when it is medically necessary. Is HoLEP covered by Medicare if it is done in Mexico? Generally not: Medicare generally does not cover care received outside the U.S., so surgery here is usually self-pay. Confirm with your plan.
05Is TURP cheaper than HoLEP?
It can vary by hospital and stay. Your quote will show both options if both apply to your case.
