“We always try to avoid surgery, but when it's needed, we choose the one that's right for each patient.”
If surgery isn't needed, we don't do it.
In a world where many specialists go straight to surgery, Dr. Acuña starts from the opposite premise: if there's a conservative solution that works for you, that's what you deserve.
This doesn't mean avoiding surgery when it's necessary. It means that when you reach that decision, you'll make it with complete, honest information — and with the technique best suited to your case.
"We always try to avoid surgery, but when it's needed, we choose the one that's right for each patient."
- 01
Honest diagnosis, no pressure
We start with a complete evaluation. If symptoms are mild or moderate and can be managed with medication, that is what we recommend. Period.
- 02
The right technique, not the usual one
When surgery is needed, we choose the technique that fits this specific patient — not a one-size-fits-all approach. HoLEP or TURP: the tool serves the case, not the other way around.
- 03
Minimally invasive when surgery is needed
Minimally invasive procedures — HoLEP and TURP — deliver superior outcomes and a much faster return to daily activities. When possible, that is always the path we take.
- 04
Close follow-up, always
"Treat patients the way I would want to be treated." Clear explanations, time for questions, and direct WhatsApp follow-up after every procedure.
Minimally invasive surgery, with high-volume experience.
Over 200 prostate surgeries at Monterrey's top specialty hospitals: Christus Muguerza, Hospital Ángeles, Doctors Hospital and Hospital Zambrano.
