General and minimally invasive surgery
Gallbladder, hernias, appendix, and abdominal masses, with laparoscopic and robotic technique when the case allows it.
Dr. Jesús Salas Serrano
Bariatric & General SurgeryDr. Salas Serrano is a board-certified general surgeon with training in robotic surgery (Da Vinci®) and a diploma in bariatric surgery. He specializes in laparoscopic and robotic-assisted procedures for gallbladder disease, hernias, and abdominal masses, with an emphasis on small incisions and faster recovery.
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
-75%Minimally invasive gallbladder removal — the standard treatment for gallstones. Most patients go home the same day or the next morning, with recovery in about a week.
Robotic Cholecystectomy
-78%The same gallbladder surgery using the Da Vinci® robotic platform, for greater precision and even smaller incisions. Recovery times are similar to the standard laparoscopic approach.
Laparoscopic Appendectomy
-72%Minimally invasive removal of an inflamed appendix, with faster recovery than open surgery. Most patients are back to normal activity within one to two weeks.
Open Appendectomy
-81%Removal of the appendix through open surgery, when the case requires it — for example, if the appendix has ruptured. Your surgical team will guide you through a longer but well-managed recovery.
Inguinal or Umbilical Hernia Repair
-58%Surgical hernia correction, open or laparoscopic, with mesh depending on the case. The right technique depends on the hernia's size and location, which your surgeon evaluates beforehand.
Diagnostic Laparoscopy
-72%Minimally invasive exploration of the abdomen to identify the cause of pain or abnormal findings. It can often move directly into treatment if the cause is found during the same procedure.
Tumor Resection
-70%Surgical removal of abdominal tumors or masses. Your surgical plan is built around the tumor's size, location, and your specific diagnosis.
Hiatal Hernia Repair (Fundoplication)
-69%Surgical correction of severe reflux associated with a hiatal hernia. It's typically considered when medication alone hasn't controlled symptoms.
