Laparoscopic mesorectal excision is a specialized surgery for rectal cancer performed at Centro PAD in Madrid, Spain. The medical team at this facility brings over 15 years of experience and has completed 7,000+ procedures. Patients benefit from advanced surgical techniques that focus on small incisions, which helps reduce pain and speeds up the healing process.
The clinic offers several minimally invasive ways to treat rectal tumors. Doctors use high-definition laparoscopes and thin instruments through incisions smaller than 2 cm. For specific cases, surgeons perform transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS). This method allows for high precision with less damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The team also uses Da Vinci robotic systems, including the X and Xi models. These robots provide 3D vision and tremor control for complex movements in tight spaces.
Dr. Carlos García Vásquez and Dr. César Lévano Linares lead the surgical care at the clinic. Dr. García Vásquez holds a PhD Cum Laude and is a certified robotic surgeon with over 10 years of experience. Dr. Lévano Linares received advanced training in France and is a member of the European Society of Coloproctology. Together, they treat about 600 patients every year, including many who travel from other countries for care.
Patients typically stay in the hospital for 3 to 5 days after a laparoscopic procedure. Those who undergo robotic surgery may be ready for discharge in as little as 24 to 48 hours. Most people return to their daily activities within 2 weeks. A full recovery usually takes about 4 weeks. The clinic provides a personalized recovery plan and close follow-up care to help each patient heal properly.
Surgeries take place at HLA Moncloa University Hospital. This facility is recognized by Newsweek as one of the World's Best Smart Hospitals and holds ISO 45001 certification. International patients can start their journey with an online consultation in English. Before traveling to Madrid, the surgeons review the case to create a specific treatment plan.
