Memorial Publio Cordón Hospital · Surgical oncology unit

It is a high-complexity private hospital. Its surgical safety protocols include multidisciplinary preoperative assessment, continuous intraoperative monitoring, ERAS enhanced recovery protocols and strict sterilisation and infection-control standards. It also has an intensive care unit, which is essential in long oncological surgery.

General anaesthesia combined with locoregional techniques (epidural, nerve blocks) when needed. The anaesthesiology team specialises in long oncological surgery and works in coordination with the surgical team throughout the procedure to maintain haemodynamic stability and control pain.

It depends on the procedure. After robotic or laparoscopic surgery the stay is usually 3-5 days. After peritoneal cytoreduction with HIPEC or a major liver resection, the typical stay is 7-14 days. Discharge is decided individually according to clinical progress, not by a fixed schedule.

Yes. We recommend a visit beforehand to see the facilities, a standard room and the nursing team. It is coordinated with the preoperative consultation, so the patient and their companions arrive on the day of surgery with all the information and without added anxiety.

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 and individual rooms.

Memorial Publio Cordón Hospital is a private centre. Procedures are arranged directly with the Quenet Torrent Institute team, which coordinates the assessment, the surgery and the follow-up as a single process. The hospital works with the main private health insurers, under the conditions set by each policy.

Yes, and we recommend it. Many patients come to us with an established diagnosis to look at surgical options that had not been considered, including cases judged inoperable at another centre. You can request a second opinion with no commitment, sending your reports before you travel.

At Paseo de la Casa de Campo 5, 28223 Pozuelo de Alarcón (Madrid), a quiet residential area next to the Casa de Campo. It is 15-25 minutes from central Madrid and 25-30 km from Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport, with direct access via the M-40 and M-503.

By car, taxi or VTC from Madrid-Barajas the journey takes 30-45 min via the M-40 and M-503 (25-30 km). For international patients or those coming from outside Madrid we arrange a private door-to-door transfer to the hospital.

By car, 15-25 min via the A-6 or M-503, taking the Pozuelo-Somosaguas exit. By Cercanías Renfe commuter train, line C-5 to Pozuelo de Alarcón station and then a short taxi ride to the hospital. There are also Moncloa-Pozuelo intercity buses with a stop near the hospital grounds.

Yes, the hospital has its own car park for patients and companions. It makes access by car easy from anywhere in Madrid or from the airport, and it matters during long admissions, when the family comes in every day for several weeks in a row.

Yes, the hospital carries out high-complexity surgical oncology: HIPEC, PIPAC, robotic surgery, liver resections, peritoneal cytoreduction, pelvic exenterations and salvage surgery. The same team as in Barcelona operates here, with the same protocols, and coordinates the assessment, the surgery and the follow-up.

Colorectal, gastric and oesophageal, hepatic and biliopancreatic, and gynaecological tumours, retroperitoneal sarcomas, peritoneal carcinomatosis of any origin and liver metastases. Open, laparoscopic and robotic surgery are used, with combined techniques when the case requires it and a prior decision by the multidisciplinary board.

Yes, both. The hospital has a robotic system for minimally invasive surgery of the colon, rectum, pancreas and liver and for complex pelvic surgery. It also has dedicated equipment for HIPEC and PIPAC, with strict control of temperature, pressure and perfusion times.

Yes. For international patients or patients from other cities we coordinate arrival, accommodation for the companion, prior tests and transfers throughout the whole process. The initial consultation can be held remotely, so there is no need to travel before the board has assessed the case.
