Frequently asked questions

Is a chest biopsy or surgical procedure painful?
You feel no pain during the procedure because I use local or general anesthesia depending on the case. Afterwards it is normal to feel some discomfort or tenderness in the area, but I prescribe pain relief to control it quickly and effectively.
How long does recovery take after thoracic surgery?
It varies with the type of procedure. Using small-incision techniques (VATS), the rest period is considerably shorter than with traditional surgery and lets you resume your daily activities within a few weeks.
When will I get the biopsy or pathology results?
Laboratory results generally take between 8 and 15 business days. Once I receive the detailed report I contact you to review it together and explain the next steps.
What if the tests or biopsies do not show a serious condition?
It means we can rule out a more serious problem, which gives you complete peace of mind. In those cases we decide whether periodic CT follow-up is needed or whether the case is resolved.
Are there risks or contraindications for a thoracic surgical procedure?
As with any surgery there are risks, and they are low. In your prior consultation I review your medical history and background in detail to offer you a safe procedure.
What is the approximate cost of the consultation or procedure?
An in-person consultation at office 1406, Torre Riverpark in Montería costs 200,000 COP and a teleconsultation 170,000 COP. For surgical procedures, the cost depends on the condition being treated and whether care is private.
