Signature topics
What I speak about.
Metabolic Surgery in the GLP-1 Era
Where surgery still leads, where pharmacotherapy now leads, and how to combine them — for medical audiences, society meetings, and surgical residency programs.
Open Access Robotics
Why robotic surgery has not scaled in Mexico, Latin America, and emerging markets — and the training, saturation, and cost model that would change that.
Artificial Intelligence in Surgical Education
Phase segmentation, learning curves, master-versus-apprentice comparison, and the ethical limits of AI-generated feedback in surgery.
Ethical Medical Tourism
What accreditation, follow-up, patient selection, and transparency make cross-border care safe and excellent — from a surgeon who has practiced it for 25 years.
Building High-Volume Bariatric Centers
How OCC built a 19,801-patient practice with a 1.2% morbidity rate and zero mortalities. Leadership, systems, and culture lessons for surgical institutions.
From Surgical Experience to Surgical Data
Turning three decades of operative memory into structured data — publications, outcomes registries, and AI-ready video archives.
The Future of Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery
Next-generation devices, magnetic surgery, combination therapy, and the shift from event-based to relationship-based metabolic care.
