A hospital designed around the patient experience
The piece, by Fran Sánchez Becerril with photography by Valentina Viceconte, describes a centre that combines cutting-edge technology with a design aimed at making patients feel they are in a human, not clinical, environment. Suite-style rooms, natural light, warm finishes and a nurse-to-bed ratio of one per eight patients.
State-of-the-art surgical technology
- 8 fully robotised operating theatres for high-complexity procedures.
- Da Vinci robot for minimally invasive surgery of colon, rectum, pancreas, liver and pelvis.
- Imaging and monitoring equipment integrated directly into the theatre.
- ERAS and fast-track protocols to accelerate postoperative recovery.
Quenet Torrent team as an oncology reference
The report mentions the Quenet Torrent Institute team, internationally recognised for the treatment of complex tumours such as peritoneal carcinomatosis, retroperitoneal sarcomas and advanced hepatic tumours. The hospital's strategy is to integrate internationally recognised surgeons to offer high-complexity oncological surgery within a carefully designed environment.
"Buying excellent technology is a matter of money. The hard part is having doctors who know how to get the best out of it and work in a coordinated way."
María Cordón, founder of Hospital Memorial Publio Cordón
What this means for our patients
The presence of the Quenet Torrent team at Hospital Memorial Publio Cordón expands access to European-reference treatments in complex oncological surgery: HIPEC, PIPAC, cytoreductive surgery and advanced hepatic surgery, within a hospital setting equipped with leading technology. For patients, this combines the team's experience with the best available facilities in Madrid.
