Enhanced 3D vision
The system provides three-dimensional vision magnified up to 10 times, which makes it possible to identify small anatomical structures.
Cancer surgery with the Da Vinci robotic system, which allows the surgeon to operate through small incisions with magnified 3D vision and articulated instruments.
CONTACT SPECIALISTRobotic surgery is a form of minimally invasive surgery. With the Da Vinci system, the surgeon sits at a console and controls articulated robotic arms that reproduce their movements, filter hand tremor and allow turns the human wrist cannot make.
In surgical oncology, this precision helps remove the tumor completely while causing as little damage as possible to the surrounding healthy structures, such as nerves and vessels.
Robotic surgery has advantages for the surgeon and for the patient:
The system provides three-dimensional vision magnified up to 10 times, which makes it possible to identify small anatomical structures.
Articulated instruments have 7 degrees of freedom of movement and the system filters the natural tremor of human hands.
Surgery is performed through small 8-12mm incisions, reducing surgical trauma and postoperative pain.
Less bleeding, less pain, and shorter hospital stays allow faster return to normal life.
Robotic surgery is especially useful in oncological interventions that require a high degree of precision:
Colon and rectal resections with nerve and sphincter preservation, especially in low rectal tumors.
Hepatic and pancreatic resections with precise vascular control and reduced bleeding.
Radical hysterectomies and lymphadenectomies with nerve structure preservation.
Complex pelvic salvage surgeries with reconstruction using robotic technique.
We work with the Da Vinci robotic platform. The system has three main components:
The surgeon operates seated at a console with 3D vision and controls that transfer their movements to the robotic arms.
Four articulated arms hold the camera and instruments, replicating the surgeon's movements with submillimetric precision.
Instruments with articulations that exceed the range of motion of the human wrist, allowing maneuvers that are very difficult in conventional surgery.
Vision system with fluorescence that allows real-time visualization of vascularization and lymph nodes.
Dr. Juan José Torrent shows the robot the team uses for oncological robotic surgery.
At Quenet-Torrent Institute we have surgeons certified in oncological robotic surgery. We have performed more than 1,000 robotic procedures in digestive, gynecological, and retroperitoneal tumor pathology.
The team follows a continuous training program and takes part in research projects on new techniques and protocols.
Robotic surgery is applied in multiple oncological pathologies.

Read the full caseWonderful surgical team, among the best out there. Dr. Torrent (expert in peritoneal carcinomatosis) is an exceptional surgeon and an even better person. His coordinator is super kind, fast and efficient. The personal care is excellent and so are the results. This is of vital importance for cancer patients.
In the public healthcare system they gave my father a maximum of one year to live. They only offered him chemo and no hope, said it was impossible, that nothing could be done. He had several tumors inside the peritoneal sac with metastases. A year and a half later he is clean, completely cured. His latest PET scan came back clean. We are very happy. Thanks to Dr. Torrent and his team. THANK YOU.
Excellent professionals, especially Dr. Torrent, attentive at all times to the patient (my wife), operated for peritoneal pseudomyxoma. They helped us with all our needs since we came from outside Barcelona. Thank you Elisabeth. We are very grateful to Quenet Torrent Institute, thank you for everything.
I am a 63-year-old patient. They detected adrenal gland cancer and told me there was nothing to be done. I sought a second opinion and they told me about the Quenet Torrent team, specialists in complex operations. Dr. Torrent, from the first moment, told me they could operate. They operated and removed a large tumor mass. I spent a week in the ICU and a month on the ward. Every day he came morning and evening, no matter Saturday or Sunday. Never throw in the towel. I am happy to have found these professionals who gave me my life back. Thank you.
Many thanks for your attention. Dr. Torrent always attentive, involved and decisive. The reception staff very pleasant and always offering the best option. 100% RECOMMENDED. THANK YOU.
Dr. Torrent helped me make the best decision at a difficult moment. I think he is a great professional and a person capable of accompanying you and putting himself in another's shoes. Thank you for everything.
I have peritoneal carcinomatosis. When I sent my diagnosis to every center, practically all of them agreed on palliative chemo with little survival time, since I had a very aggressive type of cell. Until we reached Dr. Quenet, Dr. Torrent and their team. I can only confirm what their CV announces: they are far ahead of the rest. They saved my life, because during the operation the harmful cells that everyone had diagnosed, and that were the reason nobody would operate on me, were not there. This intervention has become the best investment of my life.
The best decision of my life was finding this excellent team of surgeons who saved my husband's life. At a prestigious international clinic in Madrid he was given up for lost with advanced peritoneal carcinomatosis from appendiceal cancer, and thanks to them, the best professionals in this field, he was operated on very successfully. A perfect recovery with no complications, because they were on top of his progress at all times. They have a great quality: from the start they were very honest and close. I can only be deeply grateful; we went to buy time and thanks to them my husband got his life back.
Dr. Torrent is a brilliant surgeon and a very approachable and warm doctor, whose manner reveals all the qualities that make him a great person and professional: perseverance, innate curiosity and a desire to learn, humility, sincerity and empathy. Going through an operation is undoubtedly an intense experience, physically and emotionally, in which anxieties arise and you feel very vulnerable. All of that is normal, and as his former patient I can say that his care and professionalism throughout the process were absolutely exceptional. I felt very supported by him, with the confidence of knowing I was in the best hands. I will always be grateful to him. Moltes gràcies Dr. Torrent!
