Planning a medical trip can feel overwhelming, but with the right support it is straightforward. Here is what to expect when you travel to Puebla for prostate surgery.
Step 1: Remote evaluation
Everything begins before you travel. You share your medical information and recent studies with the team over WhatsApp or video, and Dr. Rubí reviews your case and explains your options and a plan.
Step 2: Getting to Puebla
Most patients fly into Mexico City’s international airport — about a two-hour drive from Puebla — which has direct flights from most major U.S. and Canadian cities. Puebla also has its own international airport. The team helps you coordinate timing and transfers.
Step 3: Surgery and hospital stay
Your procedure takes place at Hospital Ángeles Puebla. The length of your stay depends on whether you have HoLEP or robotic surgery and on your recovery; your team gives you a clear timeline in advance.
Step 4: Recovery and flying home safely
After surgery you recover under supervision. Before you fly, the surgical team clears you and gives you guidance to lower the risk of blood clots on the flight — staying hydrated, moving regularly and other simple steps. Plan enough days in Mexico so you are not rushing your recovery.
Step 5: Follow-up from home
Once home, you stay connected with the team through telehealth follow-up, with your records in English. You are not on your own after the trip.
