Abdominal Sarcomas Unit

Unit specialising in complex abdominal sarcomas

The Abdominal Sarcomas Unit at the Publio Cordón Memorial Hospital specialises in the surgical treatment of intra-abdominal and retroperitoneal sarcomas, rare tumours that require advanced planning, technical precision and a hospital environment equipped to handle highly complex procedures.

The unit is led by Dr Luis González Bayón, a specialist in complex oncological surgery and in the management of retroperitoneal tumours presenting high technical difficulty.

Abdominal sarcomas can be located deep within the abdomen and may, on occasion, affect organs, viscera or large blood vessels. Their treatment requires specific expertise and a strategy carefully tailored to each patient.

Surgical treatment in particularly complex cases

The unit performs procedures ranging from extensive resections to multi-organ surgery when the extent of the tumour so requires. In cases where the sarcoma involves major vascular structures, the procedure is planned in collaboration with other specialist departments within the hospital, enabling highly complex situations to be managed through a coordinated and safe approach.

This multidisciplinary model ensures that every surgical decision is made following a comprehensive assessment, prioritising oncological safety and technical control at every stage of treatment.

Expert assessment to determine the best strategy

When faced with a diagnosis of abdominal sarcoma, every decision is crucial. For this reason, each case is assessed on an individual basis, integrating surgical assessment with medical oncology, diagnostic imaging, pathology and intensive care.

This coordinated approach enables us to rigorously analyse the feasibility of a complete resection, assess the actual risks and devise a clear treatment plan. The aim is to provide accurate, understandable and honest information, ensuring that each patient has the time needed to understand their situation and make decisions with confidence.

Clear information and support throughout the process

Beyond the surgical technique itself, the treatment of an abdominal sarcoma involves uncertainty, doubts and important decisions.

The unit operates under a care model that combines medical excellence with a personalised approach, taking the time to explain each step, answer questions and provide support with respect and compassion. Every patient is cared for with the conviction that clear information and ongoing support are an essential part of the therapeutic process.
