Double-J Catheter Placement Price in Mexico — 2026 Comparison
The urologist performs placement of a Double J catheter when it's necessary to keep open the duct that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder. It's a small flexible tube placed temporarily in the ureter.
When is it indicated? It's used, for example, for obstructions, the presence of stones, or after certain urinary tract procedures.
What to expect? It's usually placed through a guided procedure and stays in for a period defined by the physician, who removes it afterward.
Which specialist performs it? It's handled by a urologist, and by the pediatric surgeon in children; the first contact may be with a general practitioner. If you were prescribed this catheter, resolve your questions about follow-up with the specialist.

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.
