How are we doing?
About the clinic
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy at Centro PAD in Madrid, Spain, is a minimally invasive surgery to remove the gallbladder. The procedure is performed by a specialized digestive surgery team at the HLA Moncloa University Hospital. This facility is recognized by Newsweek as one of the World's Best Smart Hospitals 2023 and holds ISO 45001 certification.
Minimally Invasive Surgical Technique
Surgeons at Centro PAD use 3 or 4 small incisions between 5 mm and 12 mm to perform the surgery. They use a high-definition camera and carbon dioxide to see inside the abdomen clearly. This method typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes. Because the incisions are small, patients experience less pain and smaller scars compared to open surgery. For complex cases, the team offers robotic surgery using the Da Vinci system for millimetric precision.
Experienced Surgical Team
The surgery is led by highly qualified specialists with academic distinctions. The team includes:
- Dr. Carlos García Vásquez: A specialist in 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: A specialist in laparoscopic and robotic surgery. He earned his PhD in Medicine Cum Laude and is a member of the European Society of Coloproctology.
Recovery and Results
Most patients spend only 24 hours in the hospital after the procedure. Some selected cases may even go home the same day. The medical team provides dietary guidance and simple pain relief for the first few days at home. Most people return to office work within 7 to 14 days. Physical activities or heavy lifting usually begin after about 4 weeks. Patients receive a follow-up consultation to track their healing progress.
