Memorial Publio Cordón Hospital · Surgical oncology unit

It is a high-complexity private hospital with European reference-level surgical safety protocols: multidisciplinary preoperative assessment, continuous intraoperative monitoring, ERAS enhanced recovery protocols, and strict sterilisation and infection-control standards.

General anaesthesia combined with locoregional techniques (epidural, nerve blocks) when needed. The anaesthesiology team specialises in long-duration oncological surgery and works closely with the surgical team throughout the whole procedure to ensure haemodynamic stability, pain control and optimal recovery.

It depends on the procedure. Robotic or laparoscopic surgery usually involves a 3-5 day stay. Peritoneal cytoreduction with HIPEC or major liver resections: typically 7-14 days. Discharge is decided individually based on clinical progress, not by schedule.

Yes. We recommend a pre-surgery visit to see the facilities, the room and meet the nursing team. It is coordinated with the preoperative consultation and helps the patient and their family arrive at the day of surgery fully informed and at ease.

At a centre with a multidisciplinary team specialised in complex cancer surgery. In Madrid, the Quenet Torrent Institute team operates at Memorial Publio Cordón Hospital, a high-complexity private hospital with robotic operating theatres, high-complexity surgical oncology protocols and individual rooms designed around recovery.

Memorial Publio Cordón Hospital is a private centre. Procedures are handled directly by the Quenet Torrent Institute team, which coordinates assessment, surgery and follow-up as an integrated, personalised process.

Yes, in fact we recommend it. Many patients come to us with an existing diagnosis to explore surgical options that had not been offered. You can request a second opinion from the team with no commitment.

Yes. The hospital has on-site parking for patients and companions, which makes access by car easy from any part of Madrid or from the airport.

Yes. The hospital carries out high-complexity surgical oncology: HIPEC, PIPAC, robotic surgery, liver resections, peritoneal cytoreduction, pelvic exenterations, salvage surgery and complex oncological resections. The team coordinates the assessment, the surgery and the follow-up.

Colorectal tumours, gastric and oesophageal tumours, hepatic and biliopancreatic tumours, gynaecological cancers (ovarian, endometrial, cervical), retroperitoneal and abdominal sarcomas, peritoneal carcinomatosis of any origin and liver metastases. Open, laparoscopic and robotic surgery are used with combined techniques according to the case.

Yes. The hospital has a state-of-the-art robotic system for minimally invasive surgery of the colon, rectum, pancreas, liver and complex pelvic surgery, plus specific equipment for HIPEC (hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy) and PIPAC (pressurised aerosol) under strict temperature, pressure and timing control.

Yes. For international patients or those travelling from elsewhere in Spain we coordinate arrival, accompanying-person accommodation, pre-operative work-up and transfers to the hospital throughout the whole care process. The initial consultation can be carried out remotely so that travel is not required before the assessment.
