Surgery with the Da Vinci robotic system is available at Centro PAD in Madrid, Spain. This technology allows for millimeter-level precision during complex digestive procedures. The surgical team brings over 15 years of experience and has performed 7,000+ operations, making it a top choice for minimally invasive care.
Centro PAD uses three different versions of the technology: Da Vinci X, Xi, and the new Da Vinci 5. The surgeon sits at a special console to control the robotic arms in real time. These arms have articulated joints that move better than a human hand. The system removes natural hand tremors to keep every movement steady. A high-definition 3D camera gives the surgeon a clear, enlarged view of the internal organs.
The robotic approach works well for many digestive issues. It is often used to treat colon and rectal cancer. Surgeons also use it for hernia repairs, including umbilical and inguinal hernias. It helps patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and hiatal hernias. Gallbladder removals are also common using this method. The robotic tools allow for better movement in tight spaces compared to traditional tools.
Patients usually stay in the hospital for only 24 to 48 hours. The robotic method causes less trauma to the body tissues than open surgery. This leads to less bleeding and smaller scars. Most patients feel less pain after the operation and can return to their daily lives quickly. Compared to standard laparoscopy, the robot offers better 3D vision and more precise instruments.
Surgeries take place at the HLA Moncloa University Hospital. This facility was named one of the World's Best Smart Hospitals in 2023. The hospital holds ISO 45001 certification for safety and health management. Most robotic operations last between 1 and 3 hours. This combination of experienced specialists and modern hospital facilities helps maintain high standards for digestive surgery.

Centro PAD is a private center in Madrid, Spain, dedicated to digestive, colorectal and abdominal wall surgery. Its team of two specialists treats around 600 patients a year using minimally invasive and robotic techniques designed for rapid recovery.
Centro PAD was founded in 2024 by Dr. Carlos Garcia Vasquez, PhD, a colorectal and robotic surgeon and Associate Head of General and Digestive Surgery at Infanta Elena University Hospital.
All procedures are performed at HLA Moncloa University Hospital, a hospital recognized among the World's Best Smart Hospitals 2023 by Newsweek and certified to ISO 45001. Patients benefit from a specialized surgical team and the infrastructure of a full-service hospital.
The team uses Da Vinci robotic surgery (X, Xi and 5 systems) and advanced laparoscopy to treat:
Each case is reviewed personally by the surgeon. International patients can start with an online consultation and receive a personalized treatment plan before travelling to Madrid. Minimally invasive techniques mean less pain, smaller scars and a faster return home.
