Good Morning Everyone.......

If I want to say...

The doctor will inform you as to how long the surgery is expected to take.

To take ..

El doctor/cirujano le informará cuánto tiempo _________________ su cirujía.

I don't feel comfortable using demorará because nothing is being delayed but can't find another word that works.

Your help please....

:thinking:

"durará" es la palabra. :)

También pudieras usar "tomará".

I would use Tardara la cirugia.

How long will take the surgery?

I think Chileno's choices are the most immediate ("durará" sounds much better to me).
"Tardará" is a bit more colloquial and maybe only understood in Mexico.

"El médico/doctor/cirujano le informará cuánto tiempo durará/tomará la/su cirugía."

Also for the spelling correction.:banghead:

You're welcome.

Elaina.
I hope that the surgery is well and that everything result well in the hospital.
