A speedy recovery is thus achieved and the surgery does not become a traumatic experience for the patient, an aspect of crucial importance in our Paediatric Surgery Department.

Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive form of surgery that offers advantages such as a faster recovery, a shorter stay in hospital, less scarring and greater comfort, all of which result in less surgical trauma for the child.
Minimally invasive treatments tailored to each patient are the way ahead. They offer integral, personalised and quality care that is adapted to the patient’s needs and produces the best results. We offer treatment that is on a par with anything available in the most important hospitals in the United States and Europe but here, close to home.
