Laparoscopic Umbilical Hernia Repair in Digestive Surgery and Gastroenterology Specialist Centro PAD
About the clinic
Laparoscopic umbilical hernia repair at Digestive Surgery and Gastroenterology Specialist Centro PAD in Madrid, Spain, uses minimally invasive techniques to fix abdominal wall defects. This procedure is performed by a team with over 15 years of experience and 7,000+ digestive surgeries completed. The clinic operates at HLA Moncloa University Hospital, which was recognized as one of the World's Best Smart Hospitals by Newsweek in 2023.
Minimally Invasive Procedure
The surgical team uses small incisions measuring between 0.5 cm and 1.5 cm. Doctors insert a high-definition camera and use carbon dioxide to create space inside the abdomen. This approach causes less pain and leaves smaller scars than traditional open surgery. During the procedure, the surgeon places a tension-free mesh to reinforce the abdominal wall. This mesh helps lower the risk of the hernia returning in the future.
Fast Recovery and Hospital Stay
Most patients leave the hospital on the same day or after a short period of observation. The outpatient option is available for many suitable cases. You can typically start walking within a few hours after the anesthesia wears off. Most people return to their normal daily activities within 1 or 2 weeks. However, you must avoid heavy lifting for at least 4 weeks to allow the site to heal properly.
Accredited Care in Madrid
Centro PAD provides care at a facility that holds ISO 45001 certification. The clinic provides personalized monitoring after surgery to track your progress. The surgical team has spent over 15 years perfecting digestive treatments. Their location at a Newsweek-recognized hospital means you receive care in a facility with modern digital infrastructure.
