About the clinic

Fistula laser surgery is a minimally invasive treatment for perianal fistulas performed at Centro PAD in Madrid, Spain. This procedure uses a specialized laser to close the fistulous tract, offering a faster recovery and less pain than traditional methods. The surgery is performed at the HLA Moncloa University Hospital, which is recognized as one of the World's Best Smart Hospitals 2023.

Expert Surgical Team

The proctology department is led by specialists with extensive training in colorectal health. Dr. Carlos García Vásquez has over 10 years of experience and holds a PhD Cum Laude and a Master in Coloproctology. Dr. César Lévano Linares is a PhD Cum Laude and an active member of the European Society of Coloproctology. Both surgeons are certified in robotic surgery using the Da Vinci system for complex cases. They work together to create a personalized surgical plan for every patient before they travel to Madrid.

Laser Treatment and Benefits

Laser surgery provides a modern alternative to traditional resection. This method focuses on the controlled closure of the fistula without damaging surrounding healthy tissue. Patients choose this option for several reasons:

  • Less pain after the procedure compared to open surgery.
  • Lower risk of infection and less bleeding.
  • Minimal visible scarring.
  • Quick return to daily activities and reduced medical leave.

Advanced Diagnostics and Techniques

Successful treatment starts with an accurate map of the fistula. The clinic uses endoanal ultrasound and MRI to identify the exact path of the tract. While laser surgery is highly effective for many, the team offers various techniques based on the complexity of the case. These include seton placement for drainage, mucous advancement flaps for recurrent fistulas, and robotic-assisted fistulectomy for difficult abdominal cases. The clinic holds ISO 45001 certification, which confirms high standards for safety and health management.

Excellent professionals, both Dr. García Vasquez and Dr. Levano Linares and the rest of their team. The intervention, a robot-assisted colon cancer surgery, produced very satisfactory results. The humane treatment was unsurpassed, both in explaining what the robot-assisted procedure would entail, the expected (and subsequently successful) results, and the steps to follow once the procedure was performed. Of great personal and professional value. My deepest gratitude to both doctors and the rest of their team.
