cost of resection of the large intestine in Mexico generally ranges from $5,900 to $9,750. This is significantly less than in the United States, where the average cost is over $20,000. Patients can save up to 50% on this procedure. The price in Mexico often covers surgery, anesthesia, hospital stay, and basic follow-up care. Mexico attracts many medical tourists for this surgery, especially in cities like Tijuana, Cancun, and Guadalajara, thanks to lower operational costs and internationally accredited clinics using advanced laparoscopic techniques.
