My approach to the patient: clinical clarity and well-informed decisions
Not all cases require surgery. The priority is to understand what is causing the pain or limitation, review studies with criteria and define the most reasonable route for each patient.
1. Clear diagnosis before any decision
Clinical assessment based on symptoms, physical examination and imaging studies.
2. Clear explanation of options and next steps
I explain what alternatives exist, what each one implies and when it is convenient to move forward.
3. Surgical planning and follow-up
When an intervention is necessary, the process, preparation and expected follow-up are clearly explained.
