Incisional hernia repair in Digestive Surgery and Gastroenterology Specialist Centro PAD
About the clinic
Incisional hernia repair at Centro PAD in Madrid, Spain, focuses on restoring the abdominal wall using minimally invasive techniques. The surgical team uses laparoscopic and Da Vinci robotic systems to fix hernias that occur at previous incision sites. While specific prices depend on the case complexity, patients receive care at the ISO 45001-certified HLA Moncloa University Hospital.
Advanced Surgical Methods
Surgeons at the clinic use modern approaches to repair abdominal wall defects. The team specializes in tension-free techniques. This involves placing a biocompatible mesh to reinforce the weakened area. Using mesh helps lower the chance of the hernia coming back. It also helps reduce pain after the operation. Doctors choose between laparoscopic and robotic surgery based on the patient's needs. Both methods use small incisions instead of one large opening.
Expert Surgical Team
The abdominal wall surgery department is led by highly qualified specialists. Dr. Carlos García Vásquez, PhD, is a General and Digestive Surgeon certified in Da Vinci X robotic surgery. He earned his PhD in Surgery with Cum Laude honors. Dr. César Lévano Linares is also a Doctor of Medicine Cum Laude and a member of the European Society of Coloproctology (ESCP). He is certified to use the Da Vinci Xi robotic system. Both surgeons have advanced training in colorectal and abdominal wall procedures.
Diagnosis and Recovery
The process starts with a clear diagnosis to plan the surgery. Doctors use physical exams, abdominal ultrasounds, and CT scans to see the size of the hernia. After the procedure, recovery is usually fast due to the minimally invasive methods. Most patients can return to their normal daily activities within a few weeks. The initial recovery period typically lasts between one and two weeks. The clinic also offers online consultations for patients who live outside of Madrid.
