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.
