Philosophy: |

He
obtained his M.D. degree at the age of 21 and had eleven years
of general, thoracic and cardiovascular surgery residency
training. After 4 years of academic surgery, he went into
private practice. Was early to recognize the value of
laparoscopic surgery and developed several surgical instruments
that facilitated suturing and retraction, pushing the boundaries
of laparoscopic surgery. Performed one of the first--if not
the very first--laparoscopic splenectomy in the world. Also, adapted many open surgical operations to the laparoscopic
approach in inguinal hernia, hiatal hernia, Nissen, Toupet, and
Dor fundoplication, choledochoduodenal anastomosis as well as
esophagogastroyplasty for esophageal stricture (www.laparoscopy.com/stricture)
(www.heartburndoctor.com).
Contributed several chapters on
laparoscopic hiatal hernia, inguinal hernia, and splenectomy in
English and Spanish. He has operated on all the continents of
the world except Australia. Philosophy: As long as surgeons are
experienced in open surgery, develop dexterity with laparoscopic
instrumentation through extensive training and know when to
convert to open for the patient's safety - laparoscopic surgery
shall remain safe and benefit patients by minimizing pain and
trauma and speeding recovery. |
