Digestive System Care

Digestive System: Advanced Endoscopy and Hepatology

Medical Team led by Dr. Yago González Lama

At Hospital Valdebebas in Madrid, our Digestive System Unit is a leading service specializing in advanced endoscopy, hepatology, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), and digestive nutrition.

Our multidisciplinary team works closely with oncologists, radiologists, surgeons, and endocrinologists to provide comprehensive, personalized care for both complex and common digestive disorders.

Advanced Endoscopy for Diagnosis and Treatment

We offer state-of-the-art biliopancreatic endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound, essential for the evaluation of digestive tumors and related oncological conditions.

Our specialists perform minimally invasive resection techniques such as Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) and Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD), enabling the removal of complex precancerous lesions without the need for open surgery.

Specialized Consultations for Pancreas and Liver

• Pancreatic disorders: diagnosis and management of pancreatic lesions with suspected malignancy.
• Hepatology: diagnosis and follow-up of liver diseases, with a special focus on fatty liver disease, overweight, and metabolic syndrome.
• FibroScan® (liver elastography): available during consultation for precise liver assessment.

Cancer Prevention and Digestive Cancer Screening

We provide tailored screening programs for patients at risk of esophageal, gastric, or colorectal cancer. Monitoring is performed with personalized protocols, minimizing unnecessary tests while ensuring early detection.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

We are among the few private centers with reference specialists in Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, available for complex case management, second opinions, and continuous follow-up.

Neurogastroenterology and Functional Disorders

Our experts address functional gastrointestinal conditions such as indigestion, abdominal bloating, diarrhea, constipation, celiac disease, or eosinophilic esophagitis. While not always life-threatening, these conditions significantly impact quality of life and specialized treatment and follow-up.

Digestive Nutrition Consultation

Personalized digestive nutrition is a cornerstone of our approach.

Since many gastrointestinal problems are directly related to diet, we provide dedicated digestive nutrition consultations, integrating dietary management as an essential part of medical treatment.
