Bronchoscopy and Mucous Plug Removal Price in Mexico — 2026 Comparison
Bronchoscopy with mucus plug removal is a procedure in which an instrument with a camera is inserted through the airways to visualize the bronchi and remove thick mucus buildup that is blocking airflow. It combines examination with a therapeutic purpose.
When is it indicated? It may be considered when a mucus plug blocks a bronchus and causes difficulty breathing or collapse of a part of the lung.
What to expect? It is performed in a controlled setting, usually with sedation, and allows the airway to be cleared during the same procedure.
Who performs it? It is handled by the pulmonologist and, in minors, by the pediatric surgeon. It's best for a specialist to assess whether it is necessary in your situation.

Before you book
- Every licensed doctor in Mexico holds a cédula profesional, a national licence number. It appears on our doctor profiles where we have it, and you can verify it yourself against the federal registry.
- Ask exactly what a quoted price covers. Consultation, imaging, anaesthesia, materials and follow-up visits are often quoted separately.
- Ask who handles follow-up once you are home, and what happens if something needs correcting. For treatment that spans several visits, agree the schedule before you travel.
El Doctor is a directory. We do not provide medical care, take bookings, or receive payment from the providers listed.
