About the clinic
Biliopancreatic diversion at Zafir Medical Center in Huixquilucan, Mexico, is a bariatric surgery that helps patients manage severe obesity. The clinic holds a COFEPRIS license and maintains a 4.7 rating from 870+ patient reviews. This procedure is ideal for significant weight loss due to the clinic's focus on laparoscopic techniques and long-term nutritional support.
Modern Surgical Approach
The medical team uses a laparoscopic method for this procedure. This approach uses small incisions instead of one large opening. Smaller cuts help reduce physical trauma and speed up the healing process. The surgery works by reducing the size of the stomach. It also changes how the body absorbs food. This two-step process helps patients lose weight effectively under medical supervision.
Safety and Clinical Experience
Zafir Medical Center has performed over 10,000 procedures. This high volume shows their deep experience in bariatric care. The facility operates under a valid COFEPRIS license. This license confirms that the clinic meets Mexican health and safety standards. Patients receive care in a facility that focuses specifically on laparoscopic bariatric surgery.
Recovery and Patient Support
Recovery takes place in private boutique suites. These rooms offer more comfort than a standard hospital ward. A dedicated nurse monitors each patient during their stay to track progress. The medical plan includes more than just the operation. Patients receive structured nutritional support and regular follow-up visits. These services help maintain weight loss over time. The program focuses on building healthy habits after the surgery is complete.

Gynecology and Women's Health
The gynecology department treats conditions such as uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts. Surgeons perform myomectomy to remove fibroids while preserving the uterus. For advanced cases, specialists offer abdominal, vaginal, or laparoscopic hysterectomies. The team also includes reproductive biology and infertility specialists for patients seeking fertility support.
Orthopedics
The orthopedic unit focuses on joint injuries and cartilage wear. Surgeons use arthroscopy for the knee and shoulder to treat ligament tears or persistent inflammation. These procedures use small incisions, so tissue trauma is reduced. The clinic also offers osteosynthesis services for patients who need surgical implants or hardware.
Diagnostic and Treatment Technology
The clinic uses imaging and surgical platforms to support intraoperative accuracy. A Philips Arco en C provides real-time image guidance during major procedures. Surgeons use full-HD laparoscopic towers for abdominal and gynecological surgeries.
The diagnostic unit handles several internal examinations:
- FUJIFILM endoscopy and colonoscopy towers
- Mammography with tomosynthesis for breast cancer screening
- Transvaginal and abdominal ultrasound
- Digital dermoscopy for mole mapping
For recovery, the center has a medical hyperbaric chamber. This technology boosts oxygen levels in the blood to speed tissue repair.
