Cholelithiasis treatment at Centro PAD in Madrid, Spain, focuses on minimally invasive surgery to remove gallstones and the gallbladder. The surgical team brings over 15 years of experience and has performed 7,000+ procedures. Patients receive care at the HLA Moncloa University Hospital, which Newsweek recognized as one of the World's Best Smart Hospitals in 2023.
The clinic provides several imaging and laboratory tests to confirm a diagnosis and plan the surgical approach. Doctors use these tools to check for inflammation or duct blockages.
Surgeons at Centro PAD specialize in gallbladder removal, known as cholecystectomy. They focus on techniques that reduce pain and help patients return home quickly. Most surgeries last between 30 and 60 minutes.
The clinic uses the Da Vinci robotic system, including the X, Xi, and 5 models. This technology allows for greater precision and smaller incisions. Robotic surgery often results in lower complication risks and minimal scarring. Patients are typically discharged within 24 hours, and some may even go home the same day as outpatients.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is also available. This method uses a camera and thin instruments to remove the gallbladder. It is known for causing less postoperative pain than open surgery. Like the robotic option, it allows a quick return to daily activities and a short hospital stay.
All surgical procedures take place at the HLA Moncloa University Hospital. The facility holds ISO 45001 accreditation, which shows a commitment to safety and quality standards. The surgical team consists of two specialists who work together on every case to provide personalized care. Patients can also start their journey with online consultations to discuss their diagnosis before traveling to Madrid.
