Frequently asked questions

Before your visit

When should I have hernia surgery?

It depends on the hernia type, symptoms, and complication risk. Some asymptomatic hernias can be managed with watchful waiting; others — especially if painful or at risk of incarceration — require surgery. This decision is made during a consultation, weighing your specific case against current clinical guidelines.

Is laparoscopic surgery always better than open surgery?

Not universally. The technique is chosen based on hernia type, whether it's a first repair or a recurrence, and the patient's condition. Both approaches are evidence-supported when applied to the right case.

How long is recovery?

It varies by procedure and technique. A realistic estimate for your case is discussed during the consultation — we avoid generic figures that don't apply equally to every patient.

Do you accept health insurance?

Yes, we are in-network with Seguros Ficohsa. If you have another insurer, message us on WhatsApp for guidance on the reimbursement process.

How do I book an appointment?

Via WhatsApp at the office contact number. Date and time are confirmed based on availability, after a deposit to reserve the slot; the amount is confirmed when you book.

Does this site replace a medical consultation?

No. The information here is general and educational. No diagnosis or treatment recommendation is given through this channel — that requires an in-person clinical evaluation.
