Conflict of interest
This site is affiliated with Hospital CYNTAR's surgical program. We disclose that relationship openly and structure editorial workflows so clinical content is not driven by commercial incentives.
Institutional relationship
Hernia Education Center is a patient-education property produced in collaboration with the surgical team at Hospital CYNTAR (Tijuana, Mexico). Consultation requests submitted through this site may be routed to that program.
Reviewer independence
Reviewers do not evaluate content about their own practice's outcomes and are not compensated per-page.
No fabricated credentials
Advisory board members and reviewers listed on this site have been verified against publicly available credentialing sources. When a role is pending verification, it is labeled as such rather than published as confirmed.
