Transparency note: Accreditation and the institutional track record below apply to Hospital CYNTAR and its Obesity Control Center (OCC) bariatric program. These are not hernia outcomes. They are published here so patients can evaluate the perioperative environment — accreditation, ICU access, monitoring, and surgical-program safety culture — in which hernia surgery is performed.

Bariatric series — host facility

Important context: Bariatric (weight-loss surgery) program metrics for the host facility — not hernia-specific outcomes. They reflect the institutional safety culture, perioperative systems, and surgical volume of the host facility — meaningful background when evaluating any surgical program operating inside it, but they are not a substitute for procedure-specific hernia outcome data.

Perioperative capabilities

Clinical and operational systems available to surgical patients inside the host facility.
