About the clinic

Rectal resection at Centro PAD in Madrid, Spain, is performed using advanced robotic and laparoscopic methods to treat rectal cancer and benign conditions. The medical team brings over 15 years of experience and has performed 7,000+ procedures. Patients benefit from surgeries conducted at the HLA Moncloa University Hospital, which was recognized as one of the World's Best Smart Hospitals in 2023.

Advanced Surgical Methods

The clinic uses the Da Vinci robotic system, including the X, Xi, and 5 models. These tools provide millimetric precision during surgery. Surgeons also offer Transanal Minimally Invasive Surgery (TAMIS) and standard laparoscopic techniques. These methods help patients return to daily activities faster than traditional open surgery. Recovery typically takes about 2 to 4 weeks when using these minimally invasive approaches.

Expert Medical Team

Dr. Carlos García Vásquez leads the surgical team with over 10 years of experience. He holds a PhD in Surgery and serves as the Associate Head of General and Digestive Surgery at Infanta Elena University Hospital. Dr. Carlos García Vásquez is certified in the Da Vinci X robotic system and holds a Master’s in Coloproctology. Dr. César Lévano Linares also specializes in robotic colorectal surgery. Dr. César Lévano Linares is a member of the European Society of Coloproctology and is certified in the Da Vinci Xi system.

Diagnostics and Care Process

Before the procedure, patients undergo a thorough evaluation to plan the surgery. This process includes several diagnostic steps:

  • Colonoscopy and biopsy to examine the rectal tissue
  • MRI and CT scans to determine the stage of the condition
  • Endorectal ultrasound for detailed imaging
  • Blood tests to check for tumor markers

After the operation, the clinic provides follow-up appointments to monitor healing. Depending on the stage of the disease, some patients may need further therapy like radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The facility holds ISO 45001 certification, showing a commitment to high safety standards. International patients can start their journey with online consultations before traveling to Madrid for treatment.

Excellent professionals, both Dr. García Vasquez and Dr. Levano Linares and the rest of their team. The intervention, a robot-assisted colon cancer surgery, produced very satisfactory results. The humane treatment was unsurpassed, both in explaining what the robot-assisted procedure would entail, the expected (and subsequently successful) results, and the steps to follow once the procedure was performed. Of great personal and professional value. My deepest gratitude to both doctors and the rest of their team.
