Hospiten Rambla University Hospital has positioned itself as one of the leading hospitals in the development of complex liver surgeries thanks to its state-of-the-art technological devices and the development of a highly specialized ICU. In this sense, the head of the General and Digestive System Surgery Service, Dr. Manuel Barrera Gómez, also highlights the high specialization and experience of the team that makes up the unit. "Not only do we have the latest technological innovations to perform such complex interventions, but we also have a team of surgeons with extensive experience and many years of work in both liver transplants and abdominal oncological surgery".

"The units that deal with liver tumors are the most highly complex in any hospital due to the difficulty of this type of intervention. To be able to deal with this, it is important for these services to have people with extensive experience and devices like those available at the Hospiten Rambla University Hospital, such as the ultrasonic scalpel and high quality intraoperative ultrasound, which allows us to carry out a 3D reconstruction before the operation and thus decide how to intervene," he adds.

Dr. Barrera explains that "in general, liver tumors are usually secondary, metastatic, derived from colon cancer or gastric tumors. There are also less frequent primary tumors such as hepatoblastoma, in the case of malignant tumors, or giant hepatic hemangiomas and focal nodular hyperplasia, in the case of benign tumors".

"For the approach to these tumors, both benign and malignant, it will be necessary to previously perform a series of imaging tests such as CT, MRI and 3D reconstruction, which will allow us to improve the precision and efficiency of medical procedures, especially in this type of complex procedures," he points out.

"The team at Hospiten Rambla University Hospital has professionals with long experience in liver transplants and abdominal oncological surgeries, two of the procedures that make us specialists in this field, thanks to the level of the professionals and the continuous technical and technological improvements that the center is acquiring, such as the latest 3D system that offers CELLA technology for personalized planning of the most risky operations," he concludes.
