Oscar Mendoza Helguera MD Verified

Oscar Mendoza orthopedic clinic is one of most established physiotherapy treatment facilities in Guadalajara providing high standards of medical care and advanced technology which earned renowned acclaim in Mexico and North America.

I did a lot of research before coming to Mexico for such a major surgery. When I found Dr. Mendoza and read about his experience around the world with minimally invasive hip replacement, I felt fairly sure he was the surgeon I wanted for my procedure. I then made contact with his assistant, and from that point forward, I knew I had made the right decision. She and Dr. Mendoza are warm and friendly, as well as professional and quick to respond. After viewing my x-rays, Dr. Mendoza told me things about my hip, and why I had developed my problem, things my American doctors had never bothered to explain. My American doctors always treated me as if they didn't want to be bothered and were trying to get rid of me as soon as possible. My first visit with Dr. Mendoza lasted 45 minutes, and he treated me as if he had all day to spend, answering any questions I had. My hospital room was a beautiful suite, where my husband had a nice leather couch to sleep on. The nursing staff was very knowledgeable and prompt to respond if I needed anything. After leaving the hospital, I had a lot of pain on my first night, and Dr. Mendoza called my husband and prescribed a heavier medication. It says on his letterhead in Spanish "house calls"! I can't say enough good about my experience with Dr. Oscar Mendoza and his staff. Thank you, Dr. Mendoza!

We were recommended to Dr. Mendoza by Dr. Torres in Mazatlan as a highly skilled and meticulous surgeon. I had waited in pain for close to 3years in Canada for treatment ; The surgery was completed 2 days after arriving in Guadalajara. The surgery was perfect and there were no significant pain levels. The follow up after surgery items ei. walker, ambulance trip back to our hotel, and daily visit by the physiotherapist were all organized by Dr. Mendoza's professional staff. This is medical care at its best and incredible value for the price. I see a golf course in my future.

What is Carpal Tunnel Surgery?

Carpal tunnel surgery is a procedure for opening up the wrist and relieving the median nerve of pressure to relieve pain, weakness, and sense disturbance caused by Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

 

The wrist contains a sheath of connective tissue that surrounds and protects tendons and nerves, including the median nerve that runs down the length of the arm and forearm. The space between this sheath and the bones is the carpal tunnel.

 

When the median nerve endures excessive pressure, for example, because of fluid retention or swelling of an inflamed tendon it results in a painful condition known as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome often complain of aches, ‘pins and needles’, burning or numbness.

 

A Good Candidate for Carpal Tunnel Surgery

Depending on the severity and length of symptoms, a good candidate for carpal tunnel surgery is one who has had symptoms for 10 or more months. These symptoms include, pain, numbness and tingling.

 

Carpal Tunnel Surgery Procedure

Corrective surgery can be performed by a neurosurgeon or hand surgeon, typically following a treatment of anti-inflammatory drugs which proved to be unsuccessful. Carpal tunnel surgery can be open hand or endoscopic, and involves relieving pressure on the median nerve by cutting the carpal ligament. Carpal tunnel is usually done with a local anesthetic.
