Hemicolectomy at Centro PAD in Madrid, Spain, is a surgical procedure to remove part of the colon. The surgical team performs these operations at HLA Moncloa University Hospital, recognized by Newsweek as one of the World's Best Smart Hospitals. Patients benefit from a team with over 15 years of combined experience and a history of performing 7,000+ digestive surgeries.
Advanced Surgical Methods
The surgical team specializes in minimally invasive techniques to treat colorectal cancer, diverticulitis, and complex polyps. These methods help patients return to their daily lives faster and with less discomfort. The clinic offers two primary options:
- Robotic Surgery: Doctors use the Da Vinci X, Xi, or 5 systems. This technology provides millimeter-level precision and 3D visualization for the surgeon.
- Laparoscopic Surgery: This method uses small incisions. It lowers the risk of infection and reduces pain after the operation.
Expert Surgical Team
Dr. Carlos García Vásquez and Dr. César Lévano Linares lead the surgical care. Dr. Carlos García Vásquez holds a PhD in Surgery and is certified in Da Vinci robotic techniques. He completed advanced training at IRCAD Strasbourg. Dr. César Lévano Linares is a member of the European Society of Coloproctology. He specializes in laparoscopic and robotic colorectal surgery. Both surgeons focus on high-precision techniques to improve patient recovery.
Recovery and Results
The hospital stay for a hemicolectomy typically lasts between 3 to 5 days. During this time, the medical staff monitors clinical milestones to ensure a safe discharge. A full return to daily activities usually takes about 3 to 4 weeks. The process begins with an online consultation to review medical history and imaging, such as CT scans or colonoscopies. Each patient receives a personalized recovery plan tailored to their specific health needs.
