Da Vinci gastroectomy at Centro PAD in Madrid, Spain, is a robotic-assisted surgery for stomach cancer and complex digestive conditions. The medical team brings over 15 years of experience and has performed 7,000+ digestive procedures. This method uses the Da Vinci robotic system to provide millimetric precision, resulting in less pain and faster recovery compared to traditional surgery.
The procedure takes place at HLA Moncloa University Hospital, which was recognized as one of the World's Best Smart Hospitals in 2023. Surgeons use Da Vinci X, Xi, and 5 consoles. These systems provide 3D high-definition vision and articulated arms that move with more flexibility than a human hand. The surgeon stays in full control of the robot at all times to remove affected tissue with extreme accuracy.
The robotic approach offers several advantages over open surgery:
Most patients can return to their daily activities within a few days. The surgery itself typically lasts between 1 and 3 hours.
Dr. Carlos García Vásquez, PhD, is a specialist in general and digestive surgery with over 10 years of experience.
