Laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery at Centro PAD in Madrid, Spain, is a minimally invasive treatment for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). The procedure focuses on correcting the lower esophageal sphincter to stop acid reflux. Specialist surgeons use the Da Vinci robotic system at HLA Moncloa University Hospital to perform these operations with high precision.
The clinic specializes in both laparoscopic and robot-assisted fundoplication. Surgeons use the Da Vinci X and Xi robotic systems, which provide 3D imaging and millimetric precision. These methods allow for smaller incisions compared to traditional surgery. This approach helps reduce physical trauma and supports a faster healing process. Most patients return to their daily activities within a few days, while full recovery typically takes a few weeks.
Dr. Carlos García Vásquez leads the surgical efforts with over 10 years of experience in digestive surgery. He holds a PhD Cum Laude and serves as the Associate Head of General and Digestive Surgery at Infanta Elena University Hospital. Dr. García Vásquez is certified in Da Vinci X robotic surgery. Joining him is Dr. César Lévano Linares, a specialist in laparoscopic and robotic colorectal surgery. Dr. Lévano Linares also holds a PhD Cum Laude and is a member of the European Society of Coloproctology.
Before surgery, every patient undergoes a detailed evaluation to create a personalized treatment plan. This assessment includes an endoscopy, pH-metry, and esophageal motility studies to measure how well the esophagus functions. These tests help the medical team confirm the exact cause of reflux symptoms.
Surgeries take place at the HLA Moncloa University Hospital. This facility was recognized by Newsweek as one of the World's Best Smart Hospitals in 2023. The hospital holds ISO 45001 certification, reflecting its commitment to international safety and quality standards. This environment combines advanced technology with a high level of clinical care for digestive health.
