How are we doing?
About the clinic
Removal of colon cancer at Centro PAD in Madrid, Spain, focuses on advanced surgical techniques to remove tumors with high precision. The medical team specializes in minimally invasive methods that help patients return to their daily lives faster. The clinic performs these operations at the HLA Moncloa University Hospital, which was recognized by Newsweek as one of the World's Best Smart Hospitals in 2023.
Advanced Surgical Methods
Surgeons at Centro PAD use the Da Vinci robotic system for colon cancer removal. This robotic approach allows for millimeter precision and causes less damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The team also performs laparoscopic surgery, which involves small incisions instead of one large opening. These methods result in less pain after the operation and a shorter hospital stay, typically lasting between 3 to 5 days. Full recovery for most patients takes about 3 to 4 weeks.
Diagnostic Requirements
Before the surgery, patients undergo a thorough evaluation to plan the procedure. This preparation includes several essential tests:
- Colonoscopy with biopsy to confirm the diagnosis
- CT scan of the chest and abdomen to check the extent of the disease
- MRI scans specifically for cases involving rectal tumors
- Blood tests to check for tumor markers like CEA
Expert Surgical Team
The digestive surgery department is led by highly qualified specialists. Dr. Carlos García Vásquez is a Specialist in General and Digestive Surgery with a PhD in Surgery. He holds certifications in Da Vinci X robotic surgery and a Master in Coloproctology. Dr. César Lévano Linares also specializes in laparoscopic and robotic colorectal surgery. Dr. César Lévano Linares is a member of the European Society of Coloproctology and is certified to use the Da Vinci Xi robotic system. Both surgeons focus on colectomy with lymphadenectomy to remove the cancer and nearby lymph nodes.
Personalized Care and Follow-up
The surgical plan is tailored to the specific needs of each patient. In some cases, the surgeon may perform a temporary colostomy to allow the bowel to heal. After leaving the hospital, patients receive a personalized follow-up plan to monitor their health. The facility holds ISO 45001 certification, meeting international standards for safety and quality in a university hospital setting.
