How long does the bloating last after robotic surgery?

Me sentí honrado y humilde de ser invitado como orador al Segundo Congreso Anual de Cirugía Mínimamente Invasiva en Juárez, México. Después de dar más de cien conferencias sobre cirugía robótica, esta fue mi primera presentación en español, un hito que fue a la vez desafiante y profundamente gratificante. Compartir conocimientos a través de fronteras e idiomas es esencial para el avance de la cirugía mínimamente invasiva, y estoy agradecido por la oportunidad de conectarme con un grupo de cirujanos tan comprometidos y talentosos.
