Frequently asked questions

Is a biopsy or surgical procedure in the chest painful?
Procedures are performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the case. Afterward, it is normal to experience discomfort or some sensitivity in the area; after each intervention, analgesics are prescribed to help manage pain quickly and effectively.
How long does recovery take after chest surgery?
The time varies depending on the type of procedure. By using minimally invasive techniques (VATS), the rest period can be significantly reduced compared to traditional surgery, potentially allowing you to resume your daily activities in a few weeks.
When will I get the results of the biopsy or pathology?
Generally, laboratory results take between 8 and 15 business days. Once I receive the detailed report, I will contact you to review it together and explain the next steps.
What if the tests or biopsies do not show a serious condition?
This means we may be able to rule out a more serious problem, which can provide significant peace of mind. In such cases, we determine if periodic follow-up with CT scans is needed or if the case is resolved.
Are there risks or contraindications for a thoracic surgical procedure?
As with any surgical intervention, there are risks. During your pre-operative consultation, I will thoroughly analyze your medical history and background to help offer you a safe procedure.
What is the approximate cost of the consultation or procedure?
An in-person consultation at suite 1406 of Torre Riverpark in Montería costs 200,000 COP, and a teleconsultation costs 170,000 COP. For surgical procedures, the cost depends on the condition to be treated and whether the care is provided privately.
