Resection of the large intestine at Centro PAD in Madrid, Spain, is performed using minimally invasive techniques to remove damaged or diseased parts of the colon. The clinic operates within the HLA Moncloa University Hospital, which is recognized as one of the World's Best Smart Hospitals in 2023. This specialized care focuses on reducing recovery time and physical trauma for patients undergoing bowel surgery.
Surgeons at Centro PAD prefer minimally invasive methods for colonic resection. The clinic uses the Da Vinci robotic surgery system, including the X, Xi, and 5 models. This technology allows for millimetric precision during the procedure. It helps reduce scarring and post-operative pain. When robotic methods are not used, doctors perform laparoscopic surgery. This approach uses small incisions instead of one large opening. While a colostomy is sometimes necessary, it is often a temporary measure to help the bowel heal.
The surgical team includes experts with high-level certifications in colorectal care. Dr. Carlos García Vásquez is a Specialist in General and Digestive Surgery with over 10 years of experience. He holds a PhD in Surgery Cum Laude and is certified in Da Vinci X robotic surgery. Dr. César Lévano Linares also specializes in colorectal and robotic surgery. He is a member of the European Society of Coloproctology and holds a Master in Coloproctology. Both doctors focus on modern digestive health treatments.
Patients typically stay in the hospital for 3 to 5 days after the surgery. Before the procedure, doctors require a colonoscopy, biopsy, and imaging tests to plan the resection. After leaving the hospital, patients receive dietary guidance and physiotherapy if needed. Most people return to their daily activities within 3 to 4 weeks. The hospital holds ISO 45001 certification, which helps maintain high standards for safety and care during the stay.
