Who we are
Human and professional team, passionate about HPB Surgery.
Our mission
Our mission is to share clinical, innovative and educational features of surgery in an accessible and friendly way for all followers of this platform. Through our website and email we facilitate contact for exchanges, case observation, sharing concerns, cooperative studies and other aspects related to HPB surgery.
With the best of us, here begins an adventure that we hope will be interesting and encourage the unity of the HPB community.

Our vision
During the last few years, we have enjoyed conducting various courses and trainings, establishing close ties with national and international surgery community. We always put generosity, care and expertise share before everything else, without forgetting that the patient is our priority and the center of care.
Below, you can see different achievements we are proud of.

Trust
HPB CRTI
-
1. Proven experience
Experts in highly complex HPB surgery, around 80 liver surgeries and more than 40 pancreatic surgeries per year.
-
2. Advanced technology
Leaders in robotic surgery and new applied technologies.
We currently have 2 da Vinci robotic platforms and two more on the way by the end of 2024.
We have a 3D&4K integrated robotic surgery operating room.
We perform all types of highly complex procedures, such as selective internal radiation transarterial (SIRT) and liver surgery with total vascular exclusion. We perform 3D modeling and intraoperative navigation in our patients.
-
3. Continuous training
We carry out multiple courses and training aimed at both surgeons who are new to HPB surgery and expert surgeons in this field, which are in high demand.
In addition, we have organized the first national course for robotic surgical nursing, with annual editions.
-
4. Patient-centered care
Absolute priority to the patient’s well-being, offering a multidisciplinary approach. Shared assistance with internal medicine, prehabilitation and Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®). Integrated care to the frail and elderly patients with specialized nursing.
-
5. Shared knowledge
We coordinate a multidisciplinary team with medical and radiation oncology, radiology, interventional radiology and hepatology, with weekly meetings with a high volume of patients, being a reference not only in our geographic area.
Committed to education and innovation in surgery. We are part of different national and international scientific associations and communities.
